What two numbers multiply to -788 and add up to -193?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -788 and add up to -193?"

The answer to your question is:

-197 and 4

Below we illustrate and prove that -197 and 4 multiply to -788 and add up to -193:

-197 × 4 = -788
-197 + 4 = -193

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

x² - 193x - 788 = 0

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

(x - 197 ) (x + 4)

To summarize, since -197 and 4 multiply to -788 and add up -193, you know that the following is true:

x² - 193x - 788 = (x - 197 ) (x + 4)
