What two numbers multiply to -584 and add up to -65?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -584 and add up to -65?"

The answer to your question is:

-73 and 8

Below we illustrate and prove that -73 and 8 multiply to -584 and add up to -65:

-73 × 8 = -584
-73 + 8 = -65

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

x² - 65x - 584 = 0

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

(x - 73 ) (x + 8)

To summarize, since -73 and 8 multiply to -584 and add up -65, you know that the following is true:

x² - 65x - 584 = (x - 73 ) (x + 8)
