What two numbers multiply to -508 and add up to 507?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -508 and add up to 507?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 508

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 508 multiply to -508 and add up to 507:

-1 × 508 = -508
-1 + 508 = 507

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

x² + 507x - 508 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 508)

To summarize, since -1 and 508 multiply to -508 and add up 507, you know that the following is true:

x² + 507x - 508 = (x - 1 ) (x + 508)
