What two numbers multiply to 868 and add up to -76?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 868 and add up to -76?"

The answer to your question is:

-62 and -14

Below we illustrate and prove that -62 and -14 multiply to 868 and add up to -76:

-62 × -14 = 868
-62 + -14 = -76

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

x² - 76x + 868 = 0

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

(x - 62 ) (x - 14)

To summarize, since -62 and -14 multiply to 868 and add up -76, you know that the following is true:

x² - 76x + 868 = (x - 62 ) (x - 14)
