What two numbers multiply to 970 and add up to 487?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 970 and add up to 487?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 485

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 485 multiply to 970 and add up to 487:

2 × 485 = 970
2 + 485 = 487

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

x² + 487x + 970 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 485)

To summarize, since 2 and 485 multiply to 970 and add up 487, you know that the following is true:

x² + 487x + 970 = (x + 2 ) (x + 485)
