What two numbers multiply to -584 and add up to -142?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -584 and add up to -142?"

The answer to your question is:

-146 and 4

Below we illustrate and prove that -146 and 4 multiply to -584 and add up to -142:

-146 × 4 = -584
-146 + 4 = -142

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

x² - 142x - 584 = 0

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

(x - 146 ) (x + 4)

To summarize, since -146 and 4 multiply to -584 and add up -142, you know that the following is true:

x² - 142x - 584 = (x - 146 ) (x + 4)
