What two numbers multiply to 492 and add up to 493?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 492 and add up to 493?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 492

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 492 multiply to 492 and add up to 493:

1 × 492 = 492
1 + 492 = 493

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

x² + 493x + 492 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 492)

To summarize, since 1 and 492 multiply to 492 and add up 493, you know that the following is true:

x² + 493x + 492 = (x + 1 ) (x + 492)
