What two numbers multiply to -112 and add up to 111?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -112 and add up to 111?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 112

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 112 multiply to -112 and add up to 111:

-1 × 112 = -112
-1 + 112 = 111

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

x² + 111x - 112 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 112)

To summarize, since -1 and 112 multiply to -112 and add up 111, you know that the following is true:

x² + 111x - 112 = (x - 1 ) (x + 112)
