What two numbers multiply to 493 and add up to 494?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 493 and add up to 494?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 493

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 493 multiply to 493 and add up to 494:

1 × 493 = 493
1 + 493 = 494

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

x² + 494x + 493 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 493)

To summarize, since 1 and 493 multiply to 493 and add up 494, you know that the following is true:

x² + 494x + 493 = (x + 1 ) (x + 493)
