What two numbers multiply to -447 and add up to 446?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -447 and add up to 446?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 447

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 447 multiply to -447 and add up to 446:

-1 × 447 = -447
-1 + 447 = 446

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

x² + 446x - 447 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 447)

To summarize, since -1 and 447 multiply to -447 and add up 446, you know that the following is true:

x² + 446x - 447 = (x - 1 ) (x + 447)
