What two numbers multiply to -565 and add up to 564?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -565 and add up to 564?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 565

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 565 multiply to -565 and add up to 564:

-1 × 565 = -565
-1 + 565 = 564

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

x² + 564x - 565 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 565)

To summarize, since -1 and 565 multiply to -565 and add up 564, you know that the following is true:

x² + 564x - 565 = (x - 1 ) (x + 565)
