What two numbers multiply to 798 and add up to -121?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 798 and add up to -121?"

The answer to your question is:

-114 and -7

Below we illustrate and prove that -114 and -7 multiply to 798 and add up to -121:

-114 × -7 = 798
-114 + -7 = -121

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

x² - 121x + 798 = 0

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

(x - 114 ) (x - 7)

To summarize, since -114 and -7 multiply to 798 and add up -121, you know that the following is true:

x² - 121x + 798 = (x - 114 ) (x - 7)
