What two numbers multiply to -195 and add up to 194?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -195 and add up to 194?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 195

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 195 multiply to -195 and add up to 194:

-1 × 195 = -195
-1 + 195 = 194

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

x² + 194x - 195 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 195)

To summarize, since -1 and 195 multiply to -195 and add up 194, you know that the following is true:

x² + 194x - 195 = (x - 1 ) (x + 195)
