What two numbers multiply to -968 and add up to -113?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -968 and add up to -113?"

The answer to your question is:

-121 and 8

Below we illustrate and prove that -121 and 8 multiply to -968 and add up to -113:

-121 × 8 = -968
-121 + 8 = -113

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

x² - 113x - 968 = 0

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

(x - 121 ) (x + 8)

To summarize, since -121 and 8 multiply to -968 and add up -113, you know that the following is true:

x² - 113x - 968 = (x - 121 ) (x + 8)
