What two numbers multiply to -849 and add up to 848?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -849 and add up to 848?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 849

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 849 multiply to -849 and add up to 848:

-1 × 849 = -849
-1 + 849 = 848

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

x² + 848x - 849 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 849)

To summarize, since -1 and 849 multiply to -849 and add up 848, you know that the following is true:

x² + 848x - 849 = (x - 1 ) (x + 849)
