What two numbers multiply to 832 and add up to -212?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 832 and add up to -212?"

The answer to your question is:

-208 and -4

Below we illustrate and prove that -208 and -4 multiply to 832 and add up to -212:

-208 × -4 = 832
-208 + -4 = -212

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

x² - 212x + 832 = 0

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

(x - 208 ) (x - 4)

To summarize, since -208 and -4 multiply to 832 and add up -212, you know that the following is true:

x² - 212x + 832 = (x - 208 ) (x - 4)
