Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -887 and add up to -886?"

The answer to your question is:

-887 and 1

Below we illustrate and prove that -887 and 1 multiply to -887 and add up to -886:

-887 × 1 = -887
-887 + 1 = -886

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

x² - 886x - 887 = 0

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

(x - 887 ) (x + 1)

To summarize, since -887 and 1 multiply to -887 and add up -886, you know that the following is true:

x² - 886x - 887 = (x - 887 ) (x + 1)
