    The answer is - 2 and - 16,

    as proven here:

    -2 x 16 = - 32

    -2 + (16) = 14

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

    x2 + 14x - 32 = 0

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

    (X - 2) (X + 16)

    To summarize, since - 2 and 16 multiply to - 32 and add up 14, you know that the following is true:

    x2 + 14x - 32 = (X - 2) (X + 16)
