What two numbers multiply to 726 and add up to -127?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 726 and add up to -127?"

The answer to your question is:

-121 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -121 and -6 multiply to 726 and add up to -127:

-121 × -6 = 726
-121 + -6 = -127

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

x² - 127x + 726 = 0

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

(x - 121 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -121 and -6 multiply to 726 and add up -127, you know that the following is true:

x² - 127x + 726 = (x - 121 ) (x - 6)
