What two numbers multiply to 470 and add up to 471?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 470 and add up to 471?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 470

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 470 multiply to 470 and add up to 471:

1 × 470 = 470
1 + 470 = 471

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

x² + 471x + 470 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 470)

To summarize, since 1 and 470 multiply to 470 and add up 471, you know that the following is true:

x² + 471x + 470 = (x + 1 ) (x + 470)
