What two numbers multiply to 732 and add up to -187?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 732 and add up to -187?"

The answer to your question is:

-183 and -4

Below we illustrate and prove that -183 and -4 multiply to 732 and add up to -187:

-183 × -4 = 732
-183 + -4 = -187

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

x² - 187x + 732 = 0

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

(x - 183 ) (x - 4)

To summarize, since -183 and -4 multiply to 732 and add up -187, you know that the following is true:

x² - 187x + 732 = (x - 183 ) (x - 4)
