What two numbers multiply to 238 and add up to 239?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 238 and add up to 239?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 238

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 238 multiply to 238 and add up to 239:

1 × 238 = 238
1 + 238 = 239

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

x² + 239x + 238 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 238)

To summarize, since 1 and 238 multiply to 238 and add up 239, you know that the following is true:

x² + 239x + 238 = (x + 1 ) (x + 238)
