Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 964 and add up to -965?"

The answer to your question is:

-964 and -1

Below we illustrate and prove that -964 and -1 multiply to 964 and add up to -965:

-964 × -1 = 964
-964 + -1 = -965

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

x² - 965x + 964 = 0

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

(x - 964 ) (x - 1)

To summarize, since -964 and -1 multiply to 964 and add up -965, you know that the following is true:

x² - 965x + 964 = (x - 964 ) (x - 1)
