What two numbers multiply to 864 and add up to -66?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 864 and add up to -66?"

The answer to your question is:

-48 and -18

Below we illustrate and prove that -48 and -18 multiply to 864 and add up to -66:

-48 × -18 = 864
-48 + -18 = -66

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

x² - 66x + 864 = 0

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

(x - 48 ) (x - 18)

To summarize, since -48 and -18 multiply to 864 and add up -66, you know that the following is true:

x² - 66x + 864 = (x - 48 ) (x - 18)
