What two numbers multiply to 708 and add up to -181?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 708 and add up to -181?"

The answer to your question is:

-177 and -4

Below we illustrate and prove that -177 and -4 multiply to 708 and add up to -181:

-177 × -4 = 708
-177 + -4 = -181

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

x² - 181x + 708 = 0

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

(x - 177 ) (x - 4)

To summarize, since -177 and -4 multiply to 708 and add up -181, you know that the following is true:

x² - 181x + 708 = (x - 177 ) (x - 4)
