What two numbers multiply to 890 and add up to -183?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 890 and add up to -183?"

The answer to your question is:

-178 and -5

Below we illustrate and prove that -178 and -5 multiply to 890 and add up to -183:

-178 × -5 = 890
-178 + -5 = -183

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

x² - 183x + 890 = 0

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

(x - 178 ) (x - 5)

To summarize, since -178 and -5 multiply to 890 and add up -183, you know that the following is true:

x² - 183x + 890 = (x - 178 ) (x - 5)
