What two numbers multiply to 582 and add up to -293?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 582 and add up to -293?"

The answer to your question is:

-291 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -291 and -2 multiply to 582 and add up to -293:

-291 × -2 = 582
-291 + -2 = -293

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

x² - 293x + 582 = 0

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

(x - 291 ) (x - 2)

To summarize, since -291 and -2 multiply to 582 and add up -293, you know that the following is true:

x² - 293x + 582 = (x - 291 ) (x - 2)
