What two numbers multiply to -234 and add up to 233?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -234 and add up to 233?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 234

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 234 multiply to -234 and add up to 233:

-1 × 234 = -234
-1 + 234 = 233

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

x² + 233x - 234 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 234)

To summarize, since -1 and 234 multiply to -234 and add up 233, you know that the following is true:

x² + 233x - 234 = (x - 1 ) (x + 234)
