What two numbers multiply to -276 and add up to 275?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -276 and add up to 275?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 276

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 276 multiply to -276 and add up to 275:

-1 × 276 = -276
-1 + 276 = 275

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

x² + 275x - 276 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 276)

To summarize, since -1 and 276 multiply to -276 and add up 275, you know that the following is true:

x² + 275x - 276 = (x - 1 ) (x + 276)
