What two numbers multiply to 856 and add up to -115?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 856 and add up to -115?"

The answer to your question is:

-107 and -8

Below we illustrate and prove that -107 and -8 multiply to 856 and add up to -115:

-107 × -8 = 856
-107 + -8 = -115

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

x² - 115x + 856 = 0

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

(x - 107 ) (x - 8)

To summarize, since -107 and -8 multiply to 856 and add up -115, you know that the following is true:

x² - 115x + 856 = (x - 107 ) (x - 8)
