What two numbers multiply to -664 and add up to -162?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -664 and add up to -162?"

The answer to your question is:

-166 and 4

Below we illustrate and prove that -166 and 4 multiply to -664 and add up to -162:

-166 × 4 = -664
-166 + 4 = -162

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

x² - 162x - 664 = 0

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

(x - 166 ) (x + 4)

To summarize, since -166 and 4 multiply to -664 and add up -162, you know that the following is true:

x² - 162x - 664 = (x - 166 ) (x + 4)
