What two numbers multiply to -482 and add up to 481?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -482 and add up to 481?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 482

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 482 multiply to -482 and add up to 481:

-1 × 482 = -482
-1 + 482 = 481

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

x² + 481x - 482 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 482)

To summarize, since -1 and 482 multiply to -482 and add up 481, you know that the following is true:

x² + 481x - 482 = (x - 1 ) (x + 482)
