Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 714 and add up to -715?"

The answer to your question is:

-714 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -714 and -1 multiply to 714 and add up to -715:

-714 × -1 = 714
-714 + -1 = -715

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

x² - 715x + 714 = 0

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

(x - 714 ) (x - 1)

To summarize, since -714 and -1 multiply to 714 and add up -715, you know that the following is true:

x² - 715x + 714 = (x - 714 ) (x - 1)
