What two numbers multiply to 714 and add up to -241?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 714 and add up to -241?"

The answer to your question is:

-238 and -3

Below we illustrate and prove that -238 and -3 multiply to 714 and add up to -241:

-238 × -3 = 714
-238 + -3 = -241

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

x² - 241x + 714 = 0

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

(x - 238 ) (x - 3)

To summarize, since -238 and -3 multiply to 714 and add up -241, you know that the following is true:

x² - 241x + 714 = (x - 238 ) (x - 3)
