What two numbers multiply to 472 and add up to 473?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 472 and add up to 473?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 472

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 472 multiply to 472 and add up to 473:

1 × 472 = 472
1 + 472 = 473

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

x² + 473x + 472 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 472)

To summarize, since 1 and 472 multiply to 472 and add up 473, you know that the following is true:

x² + 473x + 472 = (x + 1 ) (x + 472)
