What two numbers multiply to -584 and add up to 583?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -584 and add up to 583?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 584

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 584 multiply to -584 and add up to 583:

-1 × 584 = -584
-1 + 584 = 583

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

x² + 583x - 584 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 584)

To summarize, since -1 and 584 multiply to -584 and add up 583, you know that the following is true:

x² + 583x - 584 = (x - 1 ) (x + 584)
