What two numbers multiply to 462 and add up to 463?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 462 and add up to 463?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 462

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 462 multiply to 462 and add up to 463:

1 × 462 = 462
1 + 462 = 463

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

x² + 463x + 462 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 462)

To summarize, since 1 and 462 multiply to 462 and add up 463, you know that the following is true:

x² + 463x + 462 = (x + 1 ) (x + 462)
