Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 748 and add up to -749?"

The answer to your question is:

-748 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -748 and -1 multiply to 748 and add up to -749:

-748 × -1 = 748
-748 + -1 = -749

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

x² - 749x + 748 = 0
