What two numbers multiply to -913 and add up to -72?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -913 and add up to -72?"

The answer to your question is:

-83 and 11

Below we illustrate and prove that -83 and 11 multiply to -913 and add up to -72:

-83 × 11 = -913
-83 + 11 = -72

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

x² - 72x - 913 = 0

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

(x - 83 ) (x + 11)

To summarize, since -83 and 11 multiply to -913 and add up -72, you know that the following is true:

x² - 72x - 913 = (x - 83 ) (x + 11)
