Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 914 and add up to -459?"

The answer to your question is:

-457 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -457 and -2 multiply to 914 and add up to -459:

-457 × -2 = 914
-457 + -2 = -459

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

x² - 459x + 914 = 0
