What two numbers multiply to 488 and add up to 246?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 488 and add up to 246?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 244

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 244 multiply to 488 and add up to 246:

2 × 244 = 488
2 + 244 = 246

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

x² + 246x + 488 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 244)

To summarize, since 2 and 244 multiply to 488 and add up 246, you know that the following is true:

x² + 246x + 488 = (x + 2 ) (x + 244)
