What two numbers multiply to 748 and add up to -191?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 748 and add up to -191?"

The answer to your question is:

-187 and -4

Below we illustrate and prove that -187 and -4 multiply to 748 and add up to -191:

-187 × -4 = 748
-187 + -4 = -191

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

x² - 191x + 748 = 0

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

(x - 187 ) (x - 4)

To summarize, since -187 and -4 multiply to 748 and add up -191, you know that the following is true:

x² - 191x + 748 = (x - 187 ) (x - 4)
