What two numbers multiply to 473 and add up to 474?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 473 and add up to 474?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 473

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 473 multiply to 473 and add up to 474:

1 × 473 = 473
1 + 473 = 474

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

x² + 474x + 473 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 473)

To summarize, since 1 and 473 multiply to 473 and add up 474, you know that the following is true:

x² + 474x + 473 = (x + 1 ) (x + 473)
