What two numbers multiply to 920 and add up to -189?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 920 and add up to -189?"

The answer to your question is:

-184 and -5

Below we illustrate and prove that -184 and -5 multiply to 920 and add up to -189:

-184 × -5 = 920
-184 + -5 = -189

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

x² - 189x + 920 = 0

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

(x - 184 ) (x - 5)

To summarize, since -184 and -5 multiply to 920 and add up -189, you know that the following is true:

x² - 189x + 920 = (x - 184 ) (x - 5)
