What two numbers multiply to -356 and add up to 355?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -356 and add up to 355?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 356

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 356 multiply to -356 and add up to 355:

-1 × 356 = -356
-1 + 356 = 355

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

x² + 355x - 356 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 356)

To summarize, since -1 and 356 multiply to -356 and add up 355, you know that the following is true:

x² + 355x - 356 = (x - 1 ) (x + 356)
