Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -831 and add up to -274?"

The answer to your question is:

-277 and 3

Below we illustrate and prove that -277 and 3 multiply to -831 and add up to -274:

-277 × 3 = -831
-277 + 3 = -274

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

x² - 274x - 831 = 0

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

(x - 277 ) (x + 3)

To summarize, since -277 and 3 multiply to -831 and add up -274, you know that the following is true:

x² - 274x - 831 = (x - 277 ) (x + 3)
