Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 658 and add up to -331?"

The answer to your question is:

-329 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -329 and -2 multiply to 658 and add up to -331:

-329 × -2 = 658
-329 + -2 = -331

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

x² - 331x + 658 = 0

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

(x - 329 ) (x - 2)

To summarize, since -329 and -2 multiply to 658 and add up -331, you know that the following is true:

x² - 331x + 658 = (x - 329 ) (x - 2)
