What two numbers multiply to 229 and add up to 230?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 229 and add up to 230?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 229

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 229 multiply to 229 and add up to 230:

1 × 229 = 229
1 + 229 = 230

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

x² + 230x + 229 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 229)

To summarize, since 1 and 229 multiply to 229 and add up 230, you know that the following is true:

x² + 230x + 229 = (x + 1 ) (x + 229)
