What two numbers multiply to 816 and add up to -65?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 816 and add up to -65?"

The answer to your question is:

-48 and -17

Below we illustrate and prove that -48 and -17 multiply to 816 and add up to -65:

-48 × -17 = 816
-48 + -17 = -65

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

x² - 65x + 816 = 0

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

(x - 48 ) (x - 17)

To summarize, since -48 and -17 multiply to 816 and add up -65, you know that the following is true:

x² - 65x + 816 = (x - 48 ) (x - 17)
