What two numbers multiply to -882 and add up to 89?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -882 and add up to 89?"

The answer to your question is:

-9 and 98

Below we illustrate and prove that -9 and 98 multiply to -882 and add up to 89:

-9 × 98 = -882
-9 + 98 = 89

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

x² + 89x - 882 = 0

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

(x - 9 ) (x + 98)

To summarize, since -9 and 98 multiply to -882 and add up 89, you know that the following is true:

x² + 89x - 882 = (x - 9 ) (x + 98)
