What two numbers multiply to -272 and add up to -1?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -272 and add up to -1?"

The answer to your question is:

-17 and 16


Below we illustrate and prove that -17 and 16 multiply to -272 and add up to -1:

-17 × 16 = -272
-17 + 16 = -1

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

x2 - 1x - 272 = 0

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

(x - 17 ) (x + 16)

To summarize, since -17 and 16 multiply to -272 and add up -1, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 1x - 272 = (x - 17 ) (x + 16)
