What two numbers multiply to -92 and add up to 91?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -92 and add up to 91?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 92

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 92 multiply to -92 and add up to 91:

-1 × 92 = -92
-1 + 92 = 91

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

x² + 91x - 92 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 92)

To summarize, since -1 and 92 multiply to -92 and add up 91, you know that the following is true:

x² + 91x - 92 = (x - 1 ) (x + 92)
