What two numbers multiply to -868 and add up to -48?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -868 and add up to -48?"

The answer to your question is:

-62 and 14

Below we illustrate and prove that -62 and 14 multiply to -868 and add up to -48:

-62 × 14 = -868
-62 + 14 = -48

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

x² - 48x - 868 = 0

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

(x - 62 ) (x + 14)

To summarize, since -62 and 14 multiply to -868 and add up -48, you know that the following is true:

x² - 48x - 868 = (x - 62 ) (x + 14)
