Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 886 and add up to -445?"

The answer to your question is:

-443 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -443 and -2 multiply to 886 and add up to -445:

-443 × -2 = 886
-443 + -2 = -445

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

x² - 445x + 886 = 0
