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:

-1 and 850

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

-1 × 850 = -850
-1 + 850 = 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 - 1 ) (x + 850)

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

x² + 849x - 850 = (x - 1 ) (x + 850)
