What two numbers multiply to -483 and add up to 482?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -483 and add up to 482?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 483

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 483 multiply to -483 and add up to 482:

-1 × 483 = -483
-1 + 483 = 482

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

x² + 482x - 483 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 483)

To summarize, since -1 and 483 multiply to -483 and add up 482, you know that the following is true:

x² + 482x - 483 = (x - 1 ) (x + 483)
