What two numbers multiply to 491 and add up to 492?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 491 and add up to 492?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 491

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 491 multiply to 491 and add up to 492:

1 × 491 = 491
1 + 491 = 492

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

x² + 492x + 491 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 491)

To summarize, since 1 and 491 multiply to 491 and add up 492, you know that the following is true:

x² + 492x + 491 = (x + 1 ) (x + 491)
