What two numbers multiply to 846 and add up to -147?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 846 and add up to -147?"

The answer to your question is:

-141 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -141 and -6 multiply to 846 and add up to -147:

-141 × -6 = 846
-141 + -6 = -147

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

x² - 147x + 846 = 0

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

(x - 141 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -141 and -6 multiply to 846 and add up -147, you know that the following is true:

x² - 147x + 846 = (x - 141 ) (x - 6)
