positive x positive = positive
negative x negative = positive
positive x negative = negative
negative x positive = negative
The same rules apply for dividing, since dividing is actually multiplying by the reciprical.
If the signs (positive/negative) are the same, the answer is going to be positive. If the signs are different, the answer going to be negative.
The result in such cases is always negative.
The value of the quotient of two integers with different signs is the same as if the signs were the same. Because the numbers have different signs, the quotient is negative.
Like signs give a positive answer. Unlike signs give a negative answer.
divide them or multiply then put a negative because to different signs make a negative to of the same signs make a positive
Remember that when dividing two negative values, we obtain a positive result. The signs case for product is the same for this case.
It is IF the integers have different signs.
Multiplying and dividing integers is real easy. All you have to do is do regular dividing and multiplying keeping in mind these simple rules: RULES: 1: When multiplying or dividing integers, when the numbers are a positive, positive they equal a positive. When the numbers are negative, negative they equal a positive. In other words, same signs equal positive. 2: This rule is very similar to the rule above. The only change is that when the signs are different, they equal a negative. ( negative, positive= negative, positive, negative= negative.) Please correct me if I'm wrong. Multiply integers- my notes from class positive x positive= positive positive x negative= negative negative x negative= positive Divide integers- again my notes from class positive divided by a positive= positive negative divided by a negative= positive negative divided by a positive= negative Dividing integers are simple if the number has a different sign than the other it is always negative but if they have the same sign its always positive ex. -20/5=-4 ex. -20/-4=-5
It's a positive number. Here's the rule: In multiplication and division . . . -- If both numbers have the same sign, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is positive. -- If the two numbers have different signs, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is negative.
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.
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.
The product of two integers cannot be "positive and negative".
