What two numbers multiply to -875 and add up to 874?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -875 and add up to 874?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 875

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 875 multiply to -875 and add up to 874:

-1 × 875 = -875
-1 + 875 = 874

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

x² + 874x - 875 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 875)

To summarize, since -1 and 875 multiply to -875 and add up 874, you know that the following is true:

x² + 874x - 875 = (x - 1 ) (x + 875)
