What two numbers multiply to 714 and add up to -125?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 714 and add up to -125?"

The answer to your question is:

-119 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -119 and -6 multiply to 714 and add up to -125:

-119 × -6 = 714
-119 + -6 = -125

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

x² - 125x + 714 = 0

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

(x - 119 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -119 and -6 multiply to 714 and add up -125, you know that the following is true:

x² - 125x + 714 = (x - 119 ) (x - 6)
