What two numbers multiply to -732 and add up to 49?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -732 and add up to 49?"

The answer to your question is:

-12 and 61

Below we illustrate and prove that -12 and 61 multiply to -732 and add up to 49:

-12 × 61 = -732
-12 + 61 = 49

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

x² + 49x - 732 = 0

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

(x - 12 ) (x + 61)

To summarize, since -12 and 61 multiply to -732 and add up 49, you know that the following is true:

x² + 49x - 732 = (x - 12 ) (x + 61)
