What two numbers multiply to -884 and add up to 883?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -884 and add up to 883?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 884

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 884 multiply to -884 and add up to 883:

-1 × 884 = -884
-1 + 884 = 883

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

x² + 883x - 884 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 884)

To summarize, since -1 and 884 multiply to -884 and add up 883, you know that the following is true:

x² + 883x - 884 = (x - 1 ) (x + 884)
