What two numbers multiply to -277 and add up to 276?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -277 and add up to 276?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 277

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 277 multiply to -277 and add up to 276:

-1 × 277 = -277
-1 + 277 = 276

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

x² + 276x - 277 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 277)

To summarize, since -1 and 277 multiply to -277 and add up 276, you know that the following is true:

x² + 276x - 277 = (x - 1 ) (x + 277)
