What two numbers multiply to -133 and add up to 132?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -133 and add up to 132?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 133

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 133 multiply to -133 and add up to 132:

-1 × 133 = -133
-1 + 133 = 132

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

x² + 132x - 133 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 133)

To summarize, since -1 and 133 multiply to -133 and add up 132, you know that the following is true:

x² + 132x - 133 = (x - 1 ) (x + 133)
