What two numbers multiply to 484 and add up to 485?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 484 and add up to 485?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 484

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 484 multiply to 484 and add up to 485:

1 × 484 = 484
1 + 484 = 485

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

x² + 485x + 484 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 484)

To summarize, since 1 and 484 multiply to 484 and add up 485, you know that the following is true:

x² + 485x + 484 = (x + 1 ) (x + 484)
