What two numbers multiply to -719 and add up to 718?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -719 and add up to 718?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 719

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 719 multiply to -719 and add up to 718:

-1 × 719 = -719
-1 + 719 = 718

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

x² + 718x - 719 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 719)

To summarize, since -1 and 719 multiply to -719 and add up 718, you know that the following is true:

x² + 718x - 719 = (x - 1 ) (x + 719)
