What two numbers multiply to -247 and add up to 6?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -247 and add up to 6?"

The answer to your question is:

-13 and 19

Below we illustrate and prove that -13 and 19 multiply to -247 and add up to 6:

-13 × 19 = -247
-13 + 19 = 6

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

x² + 6x - 247 = 0

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

(x - 13 ) (x + 19)

To summarize, since -13 and 19 multiply to -247 and add up 6, you know that the following is true:

x² + 6x - 247 = (x - 13 ) (x + 19)
