What two numbers multiply to 99 and add up to 100?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 99 and add up to 100?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 99

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 99 multiply to 99 and add up to 100:

1 × 99 = 99
1 + 99 = 100

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

x² + 100x + 99 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 99)

To summarize, since 1 and 99 multiply to 99 and add up 100, you know that the following is true:

x² + 100x + 99 = (x + 1 ) (x + 99)
