Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -310 and add up to 309?"
The answer to your question is:
-1 and 310
Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 310 multiply to -310 and add up to 309:
-1 × 310 = -310
-1 + 310 = 309
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 + 309x - 310 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x - 1 ) (x + 310)
To summarize, since -1 and 310 multiply to -310 and add up 309, you know that the following is true:
x2 + 309x - 310 = (x - 1 ) (x + 310)
