Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 581 and add up to -582?"

The answer to your question is:

-581 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -581 and -1 multiply to 581 and add up to -582:

-581 × -1 = 581
-581 + -1 = -582

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

x² - 582x + 581 = 0
