What two numbers multiply to 485 and add up to 486?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 485 and add up to 486?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 485

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 485 multiply to 485 and add up to 486:

1 × 485 = 485
1 + 485 = 486

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

x² + 486x + 485 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 485)

To summarize, since 1 and 485 multiply to 485 and add up 486, you know that the following is true:

x² + 486x + 485 = (x + 1 ) (x + 485)
