What two numbers multiply to -827 and add up to 826?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -827 and add up to 826?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 827

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 827 multiply to -827 and add up to 826:

-1 × 827 = -827
-1 + 827 = 826

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

x² + 826x - 827 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 827)

To summarize, since -1 and 827 multiply to -827 and add up 826, you know that the following is true:

x² + 826x - 827 = (x - 1 ) (x + 827)
