What two numbers multiply to 981 and add up to 118?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 981 and add up to 118?"

The answer to your question is:

9 and 109

Below we illustrate and prove that 9 and 109 multiply to 981 and add up to 118:

9 × 109 = 981
9 + 109 = 118

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

x² + 118x + 981 = 0

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

(x + 9 ) (x + 109)

To summarize, since 9 and 109 multiply to 981 and add up 118, you know that the following is true:

x² + 118x + 981 = (x + 9 ) (x + 109)
