What two numbers multiply to -331 and add up to 330?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -331 and add up to 330?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 331

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 331 multiply to -331 and add up to 330:

-1 × 331 = -331
-1 + 331 = 330

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

x² + 330x - 331 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 331)

To summarize, since -1 and 331 multiply to -331 and add up 330, you know that the following is true:

x² + 330x - 331 = (x - 1 ) (x + 331)
