What two numbers multiply to 632 and add up to -87?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 632 and add up to -87?"

The answer to your question is:

-79 and -8

Below we illustrate and prove that -79 and -8 multiply to 632 and add up to -87:

-79 × -8 = 632
-79 + -8 = -87

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

x² - 87x + 632 = 0

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

(x - 79 ) (x - 8)

To summarize, since -79 and -8 multiply to 632 and add up -87, you know that the following is true:

x² - 87x + 632 = (x - 79 ) (x - 8)
