Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -834 and add up to -275?"

The answer to your question is:

-278 and 3

Below we illustrate and prove that -278 and 3 multiply to -834 and add up to -275:

-278 × 3 = -834
-278 + 3 = -275

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

x² - 275x - 834 = 0
