What two numbers multiply to -338 and add up to 337?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -338 and add up to 337?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 338

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 338 multiply to -338 and add up to 337:

-1 × 338 = -338
-1 + 338 = 337

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

x² + 337x - 338 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 338)

To summarize, since -1 and 338 multiply to -338 and add up 337, you know that the following is true:

x² + 337x - 338 = (x - 1 ) (x + 338)
