What two numbers multiply to -465 and add up to 464?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -465 and add up to 464?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 465

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 465 multiply to -465 and add up to 464:

-1 × 465 = -465
-1 + 465 = 464

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

x² + 464x - 465 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 465)

To summarize, since -1 and 465 multiply to -465 and add up 464, you know that the following is true:

x² + 464x - 465 = (x - 1 ) (x + 465)
