What two numbers multiply to -357 and add up to 356?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -357 and add up to 356?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 357

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 357 multiply to -357 and add up to 356:

-1 × 357 = -357
-1 + 357 = 356

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

x² + 356x - 357 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 357)

To summarize, since -1 and 357 multiply to -357 and add up 356, you know that the following is true:

x² + 356x - 357 = (x - 1 ) (x + 357)
