Sum and multiplication

Surely everyone knows how to add and multiply and do not need pencil and paper to know that 2 + 2 are four. It seems easy, and it is, but never underestimated number 2 because it has its oddities.

Some time ago, an editor of a magazine who dedicated a lot of space to mathematical problems, gave a very surprising response to a person who pointed out the fact that 2 x 2 gave the same result as 2 + 2 and I wanted to know if there were other numbers that multiplied or added.

The editor said there was another solution to the statement where:
A + B = Y
A X B = Y

But curiously he put the leg and said it was this:
2.618024 x 1.618034 = 4.236068
2.618024 + 1.618034 = 4.236068

Well, it is not necessary to lite how our editor was used, which was also wrong adding and multiplying, to find two figures that added or multiplied give the same thing. It is extremely curious that there may be countless numbers, or series of numbers, which when multiply and add up, give the same result.

Saying that:
A = 2
b = 2
y = 4

We have already shown the elementary lesson of algebra in which

A X B = Y
A + B = Y

We know that you would baffle many smart brains try to find other numbers or amounts in which the same circumstance is given, however there is such an infinite variety, that you could tell me a random number and I could tell you with what other number you could add or multiply And that gave the same result.

The formula is extremely simple and it is worth knowing. It turns out that the two is not as special as we thought.

There are countless answers that we can obtain from any number using the following formula:

For example:
3 + 1.5 = 4.5
3 x 1.5 = 4.5
