What two numbers multiply to -783 and add up to 782?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -783 and add up to 782?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 783

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 783 multiply to -783 and add up to 782:

-1 × 783 = -783
-1 + 783 = 782

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

x² + 782x - 783 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 783)

To summarize, since -1 and 783 multiply to -783 and add up 782, you know that the following is true:

x² + 782x - 783 = (x - 1 ) (x + 783)
