What is the quotient of 2 integers with the same sign?
It would be a positive number. A negative number divided by a negative number would be positive. A positive number divided by a positive number would also be positive. So, the quotient of 2 integers with the same sign will be a positive number, regardless of which sign the two numbers had.

Is the resting potential of a neuron 50-100 mV with the inside of the cell more negative than the outside?
It depends on what the sign is before your number. A positive sign in front of the number indicates that the inside of the cell is more positive when compared to the outside; a negative sign in front of the number indicates that the cell is more negative compared to the outside. The resting potential of a neuron is always negative when compared to the outside of the neuron, and usually lies around -90mV. For different cells in the body, the resting potential may vary but it will always be negative :)!

Does the number of positive factors affect the sign of the product?
No. Any number of positive factors will lead to a positive product.
What do you get when a negative number is subtracted from a positive number?
The sign of the answer will always be a positive number because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive (
What are signed bits?
In computer science, the sign bit is a bit in a computer numbering format that indicates the sign of a number. In IEEE format, the sign bit is the leftmost bit (most significant bit). Typically if the sign bit is 1 the number is negative (in the case of two's complement integers) or non-positive (for ones' complement integers, sign-magnitude integers, and floating point numbers), while 0indicates a positive number.
