What two numbers multiply to -582 and add up to -289?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -582 and add up to -289?"

The answer to your question is:

-291 and 2

Below we illustrate and prove that -291 and 2 multiply to -582 and add up to -289:

-291 × 2 = -582
-291 + 2 = -289

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

x² - 289x - 582 = 0

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

(x - 291 ) (x + 2)

To summarize, since -291 and 2 multiply to -582 and add up -289, you know that the following is true:

x² - 289x - 582 = (x - 291 ) (x + 2)
