What two numbers multiply to 782 and add up to -393?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 782 and add up to -393?"

The answer to your question is:

-391 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -391 and -2 multiply to 782 and add up to -393:

-391 × -2 = 782
-391 + -2 = -393

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

x² - 393x + 782 = 0

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

(x - 391 ) (x - 2)

To summarize, since -391 and -2 multiply to 782 and add up -393, you know that the following is true:

x² - 393x + 782 = (x - 391 ) (x - 2)
