What two numbers multiply to 474 and add up to 475?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 474 and add up to 475?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 474

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 474 multiply to 474 and add up to 475:

1 × 474 = 474
1 + 474 = 475

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

x² + 475x + 474 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 474)

To summarize, since 1 and 474 multiply to 474 and add up 475, you know that the following is true:

x² + 475x + 474 = (x + 1 ) (x + 474)
