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:

-14 and 62

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

-14 × 62 = -868
-14 + 62 = 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 - 14 ) (x + 62)

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

x² + 48x - 868 = (x - 14 ) (x + 62)
