What two numbers multiply to 834 and add up to -145?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 834 and add up to -145?"

The answer to your question is:

-139 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -139 and -6 multiply to 834 and add up to -145:

-139 × -6 = 834
-139 + -6 = -145

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

x² - 145x + 834 = 0

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

(x - 139 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -139 and -6 multiply to 834 and add up -145, you know that the following is true:

x² - 145x + 834 = (x - 139 ) (x - 6)
