What two numbers multiply to 256 and add up to -40?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 256 and add up to -40?"

The answer to your question is:

-32 and -8


Below we illustrate and prove that -32 and -8 multiply to 256 and add up to -40:

-32 × -8 = 256
-32 + -8 = -40

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

x2 - 40x + 256 = 0

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

(x - 32 ) (x - 8)

To summarize, since -32 and -8 multiply to 256 and add up -40, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 40x + 256 = (x - 32 ) (x - 8)
