What two numbers multiply to -802 and add up to -801?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -802 and add up to -801?"

The answer to your question is:

-802 and 1

Below we illustrate and prove that -802 and 1 multiply to -802 and add up to -801:

-802 × 1 = -802
-802 + 1 = -801

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

x² - 801x - 802 = 0

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

(x - 802 ) (x + 1)

To summarize, since -802 and 1 multiply to -802 and add up -801, you know that the following is true:

x² - 801x - 802 = (x - 802 ) (x + 1)
