Optimizing Route Efficiency Formulas

As a logistics assistant at a distribution center, you are training to use a company spreadsheet that models delivery route efficiency. One of the efficiency formulas is represented by the trinomial m213mn+12n2m^2 - 13mn + 12n^2. To optimize the spreadsheet's calculation speed, the software manual requires you to input the two negative integer factors of the constant term that sum to the middle coefficient. Based on your training, recall and state these two negative integers.
