What two numbers multiply to 36 and add up to 37?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 36 and add up to 37?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 36

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 36 multiply to 36 and add up to 37:

1 × 36 = 36
1 + 36 = 37

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

x² + 37x + 36 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 36)

To summarize, since 1 and 36 multiply to 36 and add up 37, you know that the following is true:

x² + 37x + 36 = (x + 1 ) (x + 36)
