What two numbers multiply to 494 and add up to 495?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 494 and add up to 495?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 494

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 494 multiply to 494 and add up to 495:

1 × 494 = 494
1 + 494 = 495

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

x² + 495x + 494 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 494)

To summarize, since 1 and 494 multiply to 494 and add up 495, you know that the following is true:

x² + 495x + 494 = (x + 1 ) (x + 494)
