What two numbers multiply to -152 and add up to 151?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -152 and add up to 151?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 152

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 152 multiply to -152 and add up to 151:

-1 × 152 = -152
-1 + 152 = 151

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

x² + 151x - 152 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 152)

To summarize, since -1 and 152 multiply to -152 and add up 151, you know that the following is true:

x² + 151x - 152 = (x - 1 ) (x + 152)
