Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -822 and add up to -271?"

The answer to your question is:

-274 and 3

Below we illustrate and prove that -274 and 3 multiply to -822 and add up to -271:

-274 × 3 = -822
-274 + 3 = -271

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

x² - 271x - 822 = 0
