What two numbers multiply to -332 and add up to 331?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -332 and add up to 331?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 332

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 332 multiply to -332 and add up to 331:

-1 × 332 = -332
-1 + 332 = 331

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

x² + 331x - 332 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 332)

To summarize, since -1 and 332 multiply to -332 and add up 331, you know that the following is true:

x² + 331x - 332 = (x - 1 ) (x + 332)
