What two numbers multiply to -882 and add up to 881?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -882 and add up to 881?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 882

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 882 multiply to -882 and add up to 881:

-1 × 882 = -882
-1 + 882 = 881

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

x² + 881x - 882 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 882)

To summarize, since -1 and 882 multiply to -882 and add up 881, you know that the following is true:

x² + 881x - 882 = (x - 1 ) (x + 882)
