What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 241?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 240 and add up to 241?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 240

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 240 multiply to 240 and add up to 241:

1 × 240 = 240
1 + 240 = 241

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

x² + 241x + 240 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 240)

To summarize, since 1 and 240 multiply to 240 and add up 241, you know that the following is true:

x² + 241x + 240 = (x + 1 ) (x + 240)
