Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 958 and add up to -481?"

The answer to your question is:

-479 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -479 and -2 multiply to 958 and add up to -481:

-479 × -2 = 958
-479 + -2 = -481

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

x² - 481x + 958 = 0

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

(x - 479 ) (x - 2)

To summarize, since -479 and -2 multiply to 958 and add up -481, you know that the following is true:

x² - 481x + 958 = (x - 479 ) (x - 2)
