What two numbers multiply to 237 and add up to 238?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 237 and add up to 238?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 237

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 237 multiply to 237 and add up to 238:

1 × 237 = 237
1 + 237 = 238

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

x² + 238x + 237 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 237)

To summarize, since 1 and 237 multiply to 237 and add up 238, you know that the following is true:

x² + 238x + 237 = (x + 1 ) (x + 237)
