If you multiply together two numbers with the same sign (i.e. two positives or two negatives) then your answer will always be a positive number.
For example, 2 * 2 = 4 and -2 * -2 = 4.
The product or quotient of two numbers that have the same sign is positive. The product or quotient of two numbers with different signs is negative.

Temporarily ignore the signs and multiply or divide as usualIf signs of the two numbers to be multiplied or divided, add + sign to your answer. If signs are different, add - ( minus) to your answer.+ signs are optional-- a number without a sign is assumed to be positive.
You simply add the numbers: the answer has a positive sign.
If there are an odd number of numbers with a negative sign then the sign of the product is negative. Otherwise it is positive.
Adding integers, if they have the same sign, add their absolute values and keep the same sign. Subtracting, change the sign of the 2nd number and the add using rules of addition. Multiplying and dividing, Divide the absolute values, if the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.
It changes because two negatives make a positive!!!!!!!!!!!!
When multiplying integers, multiplying by the same sign will always produce a positive integer. Such as a negative times a negative equals a positive. If the signs are different then the product will be a negative.
