What two numbers multiply to 855 and add up to -64?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 855 and add up to -64?"

The answer to your question is:

-45 and -19

Below we illustrate and prove that -45 and -19 multiply to 855 and add up to -64:

-45 × -19 = 855
-45 + -19 = -64

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

x² - 64x + 855 = 0

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

(x - 45 ) (x - 19)

To summarize, since -45 and -19 multiply to 855 and add up -64, you know that the following is true:

x² - 64x + 855 = (x - 45 ) (x - 19)
