Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -867 and add up to -286?"

The answer to your question is:

-289 and 3

Below we illustrate and prove that -289 and 3 multiply to -867 and add up to -286:

-289 × 3 = -867
-289 + 3 = -286

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

x² - 286x - 867 = 0

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

(x - 289 ) (x + 3)

To summarize, since -289 and 3 multiply to -867 and add up -286, you know that the following is true:

x² - 286x - 867 = (x - 289 ) (x + 3)
