What two numbers multiply to 495 and add up to 496?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 495 and add up to 496?"

The answer to your question is:

1 and 495

Below we illustrate and prove that 1 and 495 multiply to 495 and add up to 496:

1 × 495 = 495
1 + 495 = 496

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

x² + 496x + 495 = 0

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

(x + 1 ) (x + 495)

To summarize, since 1 and 495 multiply to 495 and add up 496, you know that the following is true:

x² + 496x + 495 = (x + 1 ) (x + 495)
