What two numbers multiply to 231 and add up to 232?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 231 and add up to 232?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 231

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 231 multiply to 231 and add up to 232:

1 × 231 = 231
1 + 231 = 232

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

x² + 232x + 231 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 231)

To summarize, since 1 and 231 multiply to 231 and add up 232, you know that the following is true:

x² + 232x + 231 = (x + 1 ) (x + 231)
