What two numbers multiply to -618 and add up to 307?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -618 and add up to 307?"

The answer to your question is:

-2 and 309

Below we illustrate and prove that -2 and 309 multiply to -618 and add up to 307:

-2 × 309 = -618
-2 + 309 = 307

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

x² + 307x - 618 = 0

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

(x - 2 ) (x + 309)

To summarize, since -2 and 309 multiply to -618 and add up 307, you know that the following is true:

x² + 307x - 618 = (x - 2 ) (x + 309)
