What two numbers multiply to 459 and add up to 460?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 459 and add up to 460?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 459

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 459 multiply to 459 and add up to 460:

1 × 459 = 459
1 + 459 = 460

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

x² + 460x + 459 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 459)

To summarize, since 1 and 459 multiply to 459 and add up 460, you know that the following is true:

x² + 460x + 459 = (x + 1 ) (x + 459)
