Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -610 and add up to 609?"
The answer to your question is:
-1 and 610
Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 610 multiply to -610 and add up to 609:
-1 × 610 = -610
-1 + 610 = 609
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 + 609x - 610 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x - 1 ) (x + 610)
To summarize, since -1 and 610 multiply to -610 and add up 609, you know that the following is true:
x2 + 609x - 610 = (x - 1 ) (x + 610)
