A negative number times a positive number will be either positive or negative depending on the sign of the larger number.?
No, the rule for multiplication is much easier than that. If the two numbers have the same sign, then their product is positive. If they have different signs, then their product is negative.
Why multiplication of negative numbers equals positive?
When you multiply any number by a negative number you reverse its sign. So positive numbers become negative, and negative numbers become positive. That is the meaning of negative multiplication; it is reversal. This is similar to the way that adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting a positive number. Negative is the opposite of positive.

Why is the product of positive numbers positive?
Multiplication is shorthand for repeated addition, for example 5 × 4 is the same as 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 or 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4. Repeatedly adding a positive number to itself will result in a positive number.
What is the larger number 1 or -10?

Is the difference of two positive numbers positive or negative?
If you are asking how many numbers difference is there between two numbers, then it will be positive. If you are referring to subtraction, if the number you are subtracting from is the larger number, it will be positive. If it is smaller it will be negative. 3 - 2 = 1 (3, the number being subtracted from, is larger, so the answer is positive) 2 - 3 = -1 (2, the number being subtracted from, is smaller, so the answer is negative)
