What two numbers multiply to 805 and add up to -166?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 805 and add up to -166?"

The answer to your question is:

-161 and -5

Below we illustrate and prove that -161 and -5 multiply to 805 and add up to -166:

-161 × -5 = 805
-161 + -5 = -166

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

x² - 166x + 805 = 0

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

(x - 161 ) (x - 5)

To summarize, since -161 and -5 multiply to 805 and add up -166, you know that the following is true:

x² - 166x + 805 = (x - 161 ) (x - 5)
