What two numbers multiply to 804 and add up to -271?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 804 and add up to -271?"

The answer to your question is:

-268 and -3

Below we illustrate and prove that -268 and -3 multiply to 804 and add up to -271:

-268 × -3 = 804
-268 + -3 = -271

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

x² - 271x + 804 = 0

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

(x - 268 ) (x - 3)

To summarize, since -268 and -3 multiply to 804 and add up -271, you know that the following is true:

x² - 271x + 804 = (x - 268 ) (x - 3)
