What two numbers multiply to -563 and add up to 562?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -563 and add up to 562?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 563

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 563 multiply to -563 and add up to 562:

-1 × 563 = -563
-1 + 563 = 562

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

x² + 562x - 563 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 563)

To summarize, since -1 and 563 multiply to -563 and add up 562, you know that the following is true:

x² + 562x - 563 = (x - 1 ) (x + 563)
