What two numbers multiply to 227 and add up to 228?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 227 and add up to 228?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 227

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 227 multiply to 227 and add up to 228:

1 × 227 = 227
1 + 227 = 228

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 228x + 227 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x + 1 ) (x + 227)

To summarize, since 1 and 227 multiply to 227 and add up 228, you know that the following is true:

x² + 228x + 227 = (x + 1 ) (x + 227)
