What two numbers multiply to -309 and add up to 308?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -309 and add up to 308?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 309

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 309 multiply to -309 and add up to 308:

-1 × 309 = -309
-1 + 309 = 308

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

x² + 308x - 309 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 309)

To summarize, since -1 and 309 multiply to -309 and add up 308, you know that the following is true:

x² + 308x - 309 = (x - 1 ) (x + 309)
