How to solve T + 200/T = 1000

I'm truly stumped on this, it's been a while since I've done algebra and I'm at my wits end trying to reinvent the wheel when I just know that it's round.

T + 200/T = 1000

 

T2+ 200 = 1000T (multiply both sides by T)

 

T2-1000T + 200 = 0

 

This doesn't seem to factor readily, so you can use the quadratic formula to solve for T.

Thank you for answer so quickly, and when I mentioned reinventing the wheel it seems I was trying to reinvent the quadratic formula. I knew I was missing a piece of information and it seems that was what I needed.
