What two numbers multiply to 494 and add up to 45?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 494 and add up to 45?"

The answer to your question is:

19 and 26

Below we illustrate and prove that 19 and 26 multiply to 494 and add up to 45:

19 × 26 = 494
19 + 26 = 45

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

x² + 45x + 494 = 0

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

(x + 19 ) (x + 26)

To summarize, since 19 and 26 multiply to 494 and add up 45, you know that the following is true:

x² + 45x + 494 = (x + 19 ) (x + 26)
