What two numbers multiply to 457 and add up to 458?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 457 and add up to 458?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 457

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 457 multiply to 457 and add up to 458:

1 × 457 = 457
1 + 457 = 458

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

x² + 458x + 457 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 457)

To summarize, since 1 and 457 multiply to 457 and add up 458, you know that the following is true:

x² + 458x + 457 = (x + 1 ) (x + 457)
