What two numbers multiply to 243 and add up to 244?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 243 and add up to 244?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 243

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 243 multiply to 243 and add up to 244:

1 × 243 = 243
1 + 243 = 244

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

x² + 244x + 243 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 243)

To summarize, since 1 and 243 multiply to 243 and add up 244, you know that the following is true:

x² + 244x + 243 = (x + 1 ) (x + 243)
