What two numbers multiply to 68 and add up to 69?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 68 and add up to 69?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 68

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 68 multiply to 68 and add up to 69:

1 × 68 = 68
1 + 68 = 69

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

x² + 69x + 68 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 68)

To summarize, since 1 and 68 multiply to 68 and add up 69, you know that the following is true:

x² + 69x + 68 = (x + 1 ) (x + 68)
