What two numbers multiply to -862 and add up to 861?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -862 and add up to 861?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 862

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 862 multiply to -862 and add up to 861:

-1 × 862 = -862
-1 + 862 = 861

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

x² + 861x - 862 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 862)

To summarize, since -1 and 862 multiply to -862 and add up 861, you know that the following is true:

x² + 861x - 862 = (x - 1 ) (x + 862)
