What two numbers multiply to -207 and add up to 206?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -207 and add up to 206?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 207

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 207 multiply to -207 and add up to 206:

-1 × 207 = -207
-1 + 207 = 206

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

x² + 206x - 207 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 207)

To summarize, since -1 and 207 multiply to -207 and add up 206, you know that the following is true:

x² + 206x - 207 = (x - 1 ) (x + 207)
