What two numbers multiply to 579 and add up to -196?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 579 and add up to -196?"

The answer to your question is:

-193 and -3

Below we illustrate and prove that -193 and -3 multiply to 579 and add up to -196:

-193 × -3 = 579
-193 + -3 = -196

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

x² - 196x + 579 = 0

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

(x - 193 ) (x - 3)

To summarize, since -193 and -3 multiply to 579 and add up -196, you know that the following is true:

x² - 196x + 579 = (x - 193 ) (x - 3)
