What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 229?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 228 and add up to 229?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 228

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 228 multiply to 228 and add up to 229:

1 × 228 = 228
1 + 228 = 229

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

x² + 229x + 228 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 228)

To summarize, since 1 and 228 multiply to 228 and add up 229, you know that the following is true:

x² + 229x + 228 = (x + 1 ) (x + 228)
