What two numbers multiply to -270 and add up to 269?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -270 and add up to 269?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 270

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 270 multiply to -270 and add up to 269:

-1 × 270 = -270
-1 + 270 = 269

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

x² + 269x - 270 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 270)

To summarize, since -1 and 270 multiply to -270 and add up 269, you know that the following is true:

x² + 269x - 270 = (x - 1 ) (x + 270)
