What two numbers multiply to -803 and add up to 802?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -803 and add up to 802?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 803

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 803 multiply to -803 and add up to 802:

-1 × 803 = -803
-1 + 803 = 802

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

x² + 802x - 803 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 803)

To summarize, since -1 and 803 multiply to -803 and add up 802, you know that the following is true:

x² + 802x - 803 = (x - 1 ) (x + 803)
