What two numbers multiply to 802 and add up to -803?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 802 and add up to -803?"

The answer to your question is:

-802 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -802 and -1 multiply to 802 and add up to -803:

-802 × -1 = 802
-802 + -1 = -803

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

x² - 803x + 802 = 0

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

(x - 802 ) (x - 1)

To summarize, since -802 and -1 multiply to 802 and add up -803, you know that the following is true:

x² - 803x + 802 = (x - 802 ) (x - 1)
