Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -885 and add up to -884?"

The answer to your question is:

-885 and 1

Below we illustrate and prove that -885 and 1 multiply to -885 and add up to -884:

-885 × 1 = -885
-885 + 1 = -884

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

x² - 884x - 885 = 0
