Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 664 and add up to -334?"

The answer to your question is:

-332 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -332 and -2 multiply to 664 and add up to -334:

-332 × -2 = 664
-332 + -2 = -334

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

x² - 334x + 664 = 0

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

(x - 332 ) (x - 2)

To summarize, since -332 and -2 multiply to 664 and add up -334, you know that the following is true:

x² - 334x + 664 = (x - 332 ) (x - 2)
