What two numbers multiply to -947 and add up to 946?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -947 and add up to 946?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 947

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 947 multiply to -947 and add up to 946:

-1 × 947 = -947
-1 + 947 = 946

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

x² + 946x - 947 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 947)

To summarize, since -1 and 947 multiply to -947 and add up 946, you know that the following is true:

x² + 946x - 947 = (x - 1 ) (x + 947)
