What two numbers multiply to 822 and add up to -143?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 822 and add up to -143?"

The answer to your question is:

-137 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -137 and -6 multiply to 822 and add up to -143:

-137 × -6 = 822
-137 + -6 = -143

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

x² - 143x + 822 = 0

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

(x - 137 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -137 and -6 multiply to 822 and add up -143, you know that the following is true:

x² - 143x + 822 = (x - 137 ) (x - 6)
