What two numbers multiply to -59 and add up to 58?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -59 and add up to 58?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 59


Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 59 multiply to -59 and add up to 58:

-1 × 59 = -59
-1 + 59 = 58

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

x2 + 58x - 59 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 59)

To summarize, since -1 and 59 multiply to -59 and add up 58, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 58x - 59 = (x - 1 ) (x + 59)
