What two numbers multiply to 461 and add up to 462?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 461 and add up to 462?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 461

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 461 multiply to 461 and add up to 462:

1 × 461 = 461
1 + 461 = 462

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

x² + 462x + 461 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 461)

To summarize, since 1 and 461 multiply to 461 and add up 462, you know that the following is true:

x² + 462x + 461 = (x + 1 ) (x + 461)
