Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -580 and add up to -579?"

The answer to your question is:

-580 and 1

Below we illustrate and prove that -580 and 1 multiply to -580 and add up to -579:

-580 × 1 = -580
-580 + 1 = -579

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

x² - 579x - 580 = 0
