What two numbers multiply to 642 and add up to -113?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 642 and add up to -113?"

The answer to your question is:

-107 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -107 and -6 multiply to 642 and add up to -113:

-107 × -6 = 642
-107 + -6 = -113

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

x² - 113x + 642 = 0

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

(x - 107 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -107 and -6 multiply to 642 and add up -113, you know that the following is true:

x² - 113x + 642 = (x - 107 ) (x - 6)
