What two numbers multiply to -525 and add up to 524?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -525 and add up to 524?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 525

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 525 multiply to -525 and add up to 524:

-1 × 525 = -525
-1 + 525 = 524

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

x² + 524x - 525 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 525)

To summarize, since -1 and 525 multiply to -525 and add up 524, you know that the following is true:

x² + 524x - 525 = (x - 1 ) (x + 525)
