Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 837 and add up to -282?"

The answer to your question is:

-279 and -3

Below we illustrate and prove that -279 and -3 multiply to 837 and add up to -282:

-279 × -3 = 837
-279 + -3 = -282

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

x² - 282x + 837 = 0

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

(x - 279 ) (x - 3)

To summarize, since -279 and -3 multiply to 837 and add up -282, you know that the following is true:

x² - 282x + 837 = (x - 279 ) (x - 3)
