What two numbers multiply to -748 and add up to -183?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -748 and add up to -183?"

The answer to your question is:

-187 and 4

Below we illustrate and prove that -187 and 4 multiply to -748 and add up to -183:

-187 × 4 = -748
-187 + 4 = -183

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

x² - 183x - 748 = 0

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

(x - 187 ) (x + 4)

To summarize, since -187 and 4 multiply to -748 and add up -183, you know that the following is true:

x² - 183x - 748 = (x - 187 ) (x + 4)
