What two numbers multiply to 454 and add up to 455?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 454 and add up to 455?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 454

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 454 multiply to 454 and add up to 455:

1 × 454 = 454
1 + 454 = 455

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

x² + 455x + 454 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 454)

To summarize, since 1 and 454 multiply to 454 and add up 455, you know that the following is true:

x² + 455x + 454 = (x + 1 ) (x + 454)
