What two numbers multiply to -337 and add up to 336?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -337 and add up to 336?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 337

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 337 multiply to -337 and add up to 336:

-1 × 337 = -337
-1 + 337 = 336

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

x² + 336x - 337 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 337)

To summarize, since -1 and 337 multiply to -337 and add up 336, you know that the following is true:

x² + 336x - 337 = (x - 1 ) (x + 337)
