What two numbers multiply to 241 and add up to 242?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 241 and add up to 242?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 241

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 241 multiply to 241 and add up to 242:

1 × 241 = 241
1 + 241 = 242

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

x² + 242x + 241 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 241)

To summarize, since 1 and 241 multiply to 241 and add up 242, you know that the following is true:

x² + 242x + 241 = (x + 1 ) (x + 241)
