Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 948 and add up to -476?"

The answer to your question is:

-474 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -474 and -2 multiply to 948 and add up to -476:

-474 × -2 = 948
-474 + -2 = -476

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

x² - 476x + 948 = 0

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

(x - 474 ) (x - 2)

To summarize, since -474 and -2 multiply to 948 and add up -476, you know that the following is true:

x² - 476x + 948 = (x - 474 ) (x - 2)
