What two numbers multiply to -727 and add up to 726?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -727 and add up to 726?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 727

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 727 multiply to -727 and add up to 726:

-1 × 727 = -727
-1 + 727 = 726

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

x² + 726x - 727 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 727)

To summarize, since -1 and 727 multiply to -727 and add up 726, you know that the following is true:

x² + 726x - 727 = (x - 1 ) (x + 727)
