What two numbers multiply to -168 and add up to 167?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -168 and add up to 167?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 168

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 168 multiply to -168 and add up to 167:

-1 × 168 = -168
-1 + 168 = 167

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

x² + 167x - 168 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 168)

To summarize, since -1 and 168 multiply to -168 and add up 167, you know that the following is true:

x² + 167x - 168 = (x - 1 ) (x + 168)
