Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 566 and add up to -285?"
The answer to your question is:
-283 and -2
Below we illustrate and prove that -283 and -2 multiply to 566 and add up to -285:
-283 × -2 = 566
-283 + -2 = -285
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 - 285x + 566 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x - 283 ) (x - 2)
To summarize, since -283 and -2 multiply to 566 and add up -285, you know that the following is true:
x2 - 285x + 566 = (x - 283 ) (x - 2)
