What two numbers multiply to -373 and add up to 372?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -373 and add up to 372?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 373

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 373 multiply to -373 and add up to 372:

-1 × 373 = -373
-1 + 373 = 372

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

x² + 372x - 373 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 373)

To summarize, since -1 and 373 multiply to -373 and add up 372, you know that the following is true:

x² + 372x - 373 = (x - 1 ) (x + 373)
