Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 828 and add up to -829?"

The answer to your question is:

-828 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -828 and -1 multiply to 828 and add up to -829:

-828 × -1 = 828
-828 + -1 = -829

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

x² - 829x + 828 = 0

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

(x - 828 ) (x - 1)

To summarize, since -828 and -1 multiply to 828 and add up -829, you know that the following is true:

x² - 829x + 828 = (x - 828 ) (x - 1)
