What two numbers multiply to -484 and add up to 483?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -484 and add up to 483?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 484

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 484 multiply to -484 and add up to 483:

-1 × 484 = -484
-1 + 484 = 483

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

x² + 483x - 484 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 484)

To summarize, since -1 and 484 multiply to -484 and add up 483, you know that the following is true:

x² + 483x - 484 = (x - 1 ) (x + 484)
