What two numbers multiply to -379 and add up to 378?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -379 and add up to 378?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 379

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 379 multiply to -379 and add up to 378:

-1 × 379 = -379
-1 + 379 = 378

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

x² + 378x - 379 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 379)

To summarize, since -1 and 379 multiply to -379 and add up 378, you know that the following is true:

x² + 378x - 379 = (x - 1 ) (x + 379)
