What two numbers multiply to -850 and add up to -849?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -850 and add up to -849?"

The answer to your question is:

-850 and 1

Below we illustrate and prove that -850 and 1 multiply to -850 and add up to -849:

-850 × 1 = -850
-850 + 1 = -849

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

x² - 849x - 850 = 0

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

(x - 850 ) (x + 1)

To summarize, since -850 and 1 multiply to -850 and add up -849, you know that the following is true:

x² - 849x - 850 = (x - 850 ) (x + 1)
