What two numbers multiply to -293 and add up to 292?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -293 and add up to 292?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 293

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 293 multiply to -293 and add up to 292:

-1 × 293 = -293
-1 + 293 = 292

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

x² + 292x - 293 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 293)

To summarize, since -1 and 293 multiply to -293 and add up 292, you know that the following is true:

x² + 292x - 293 = (x - 1 ) (x + 293)
