What two numbers multiply to 964 and add up to -245?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 964 and add up to -245?"

The answer to your question is:

-241 and -4

Below we illustrate and prove that -241 and -4 multiply to 964 and add up to -245:

-241 × -4 = 964
-241 + -4 = -245

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

x² - 245x + 964 = 0

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

(x - 241 ) (x - 4)

To summarize, since -241 and -4 multiply to 964 and add up -245, you know that the following is true:

x² - 245x + 964 = (x - 241 ) (x - 4)
