What two numbers multiply to 785 and add up to -786?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 785 and add up to -786?"

The answer to your question is:

-785 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -785 and -1 multiply to 785 and add up to -786:

-785 × -1 = 785
-785 + -1 = -786

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

x² - 786x + 785 = 0

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

(x - 785 ) (x - 1)

To summarize, since -785 and -1 multiply to 785 and add up -786, you know that the following is true:

x² - 786x + 785 = (x - 785 ) (x - 1)
