What two numbers multiply to 864 and add up to -865?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 864 and add up to -865?"

The answer to your question is:

-864 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -864 and -1 multiply to 864 and add up to -865:

-864 × -1 = 864
-864 + -1 = -865

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

x² - 865x + 864 = 0

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

(x - 864 ) (x - 1)

To summarize, since -864 and -1 multiply to 864 and add up -865, you know that the following is true:

x² - 865x + 864 = (x - 864 ) (x - 1)
