What two numbers multiply to 481 and add up to -482?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 481 and add up to -482?"

The answer to your question is:

-481 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -481 and -1 multiply to 481 and add up to -482:

-481 × -1 = 481
-481 + -1 = -482

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

x² - 482x + 481 = 0

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

(x - 481 ) (x - 1)

To summarize, since -481 and -1 multiply to 481 and add up -482, you know that the following is true:

x² - 482x + 481 = (x - 481 ) (x - 1)
