What two numbers multiply to -326 and add up to 325?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -326 and add up to 325?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 326

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 326 multiply to -326 and add up to 325:

-1 × 326 = -326
-1 + 326 = 325

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

x² + 325x - 326 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 326)

To summarize, since -1 and 326 multiply to -326 and add up 325, you know that the following is true:

x² + 325x - 326 = (x - 1 ) (x + 326)
