Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 828 and add up to -144?"

The answer to your question is:

-138 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -138 and -6 multiply to 828 and add up to -144:

-138 × -6 = 828
-138 + -6 = -144

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

x² - 144x + 828 = 0

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

(x - 138 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -138 and -6 multiply to 828 and add up -144, you know that the following is true:

x² - 144x + 828 = (x - 138 ) (x - 6)
