What two numbers multiply to -582 and add up to 581?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -582 and add up to 581?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 582

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 582 multiply to -582 and add up to 581:

-1 × 582 = -582
-1 + 582 = 581

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

x² + 581x - 582 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 582)

To summarize, since -1 and 582 multiply to -582 and add up 581, you know that the following is true:

x² + 581x - 582 = (x - 1 ) (x + 582)
