What two numbers multiply to -876 and add up to 875?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -876 and add up to 875?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 876

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 876 multiply to -876 and add up to 875:

-1 × 876 = -876
-1 + 876 = 875

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

x² + 875x - 876 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 876)

To summarize, since -1 and 876 multiply to -876 and add up 875, you know that the following is true:

x² + 875x - 876 = (x - 1 ) (x + 876)
