-2 and 2 1 and -4 -1 and 4
a negative prime number has 4 factors
A negative multiplied by another negative will always give a positive answer. E.g. -4 x - 3 = 12
A negative number. For example, -4/2=-2
When you multiply a negative number by a positive number, the result is always a negative number. This is due to the rules of multiplication, where the sign of the product is determined by the signs of the factors. Specifically, a negative times a positive yields a negative. For example, multiplying -3 by 4 results in -12.
The factors of negative 24 are the numbers that can be multiplied together to give negative 24 as the result. The factors of negative 24 are 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 4, -4, 6, -6, 8, -8, 12, -12, and 24, as well as their negative counterparts. Negative 24 has both positive and negative factors because it is an integer.
A square number, like 4, 9 and 25.
The best way to figure this out would be to use an example. So suppose you had a -20 and divided that by a positive 5. That would give you a -4. Take that -4 and divide it by a -2 which would give you a positive 2 (knowing that two negative numbers cancel out to make a positive number). Thus a negative divided by a positive divided by a negative would give you a positive number.
Becuase in the rule of laws of signs, when you multiply or divide a number that is positve by a negative number or a number that is negative by a positive number (same thing), the product/answer will always be a negative number. But when you multiply/divide a positive number by positive or negative by negative, the product/answer will always be positive number E.g: -2 x 2= -4 / 2 x (-2)= -4 -2 -:- 2= -1 / 2 -:- (-2)= -1 E.g: 2 x 2=4 / -2 x (-2)=4 2 -:- 2= 1 / -2 -:- (-2)=1
-8, -4, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4, 8 Usually I only write the positive factors, even though the negative factors exist, though it is hard to resist writing them when the number itself is negative.
