What two numbers multiply to -57 and add up to 56?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -57 and add up to 56?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 57


Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 57 multiply to -57 and add up to 56:

-1 × 57 = -57
-1 + 57 = 56

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

x2 + 56x - 57 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 57)

To summarize, since -1 and 57 multiply to -57 and add up 56, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 56x - 57 = (x - 1 ) (x + 57)
