What two numbers multiply to -468 and add up to 467?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -468 and add up to 467?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 468

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 468 multiply to -468 and add up to 467:

-1 × 468 = -468
-1 + 468 = 467

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

x² + 467x - 468 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 468)

To summarize, since -1 and 468 multiply to -468 and add up 467, you know that the following is true:

x² + 467x - 468 = (x - 1 ) (x + 468)
