The answer to your question is:

-46 and 18

Below we illustrate and prove that -46 and 18 multiply to -828 and add up to -28:

-46 × 18 = -828
-46 + 18 = -28

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

x² - 28x - 828 = 0

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

(x - 46 ) (x + 18)

To summarize, since -46 and 18 multiply to -828 and add up -28, you know that the following is true:

x² - 28x - 828 = (x - 46 ) (x + 18)
