What two numbers multiply to 458 and add up to 459?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 458 and add up to 459?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 458

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 458 multiply to 458 and add up to 459:

1 × 458 = 458
1 + 458 = 459

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

x² + 459x + 458 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 458)

To summarize, since 1 and 458 multiply to 458 and add up 459, you know that the following is true:

x² + 459x + 458 = (x + 1 ) (x + 458)
