What two numbers multiply to 95 and add up to 96?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 95 and add up to 96?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 95

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 95 multiply to 95 and add up to 96:

1 × 95 = 95
1 + 95 = 96

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

x² + 96x + 95 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 95)

To summarize, since 1 and 95 multiply to 95 and add up 96, you know that the following is true:

x² + 96x + 95 = (x + 1 ) (x + 95)
