What two numbers multiply to -786 and add up to 785?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -786 and add up to 785?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 786

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 786 multiply to -786 and add up to 785:

-1 × 786 = -786
-1 + 786 = 785

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

x² + 785x - 786 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 786)

To summarize, since -1 and 786 multiply to -786 and add up 785, you know that the following is true:

x² + 785x - 786 = (x - 1 ) (x + 786)
