Negative * positive = negative
Positive * positive = positive
Negative * negative = positive
When you are multiplying numbers, if both numbers have the same signs, then the answer is positive; and if the numbers have different signs, the answer is negative. Otherwise, it's just like multiplying two positive numbers.-56 x -8 = 448
Multiplying a positive and negative number will give a negative result. The result is a negative number.
When multiplying or dividing . . .If the signs of both numbers are the same, the result is positive.If the signs of both numbers are different, the result is negative.
It the two rational numbers have different signs, then the answer will be negative, otherwise it will be positive.
Positive A simple rule to remember this is when multiplying two numbers with the same sign, the result is ALWAYS positive. When multiplying two numbers with different signs, the results is ALWAYS negative.
It the signs of the two numbers that you are multiplying or dividing is the same, then the answer is positive, otherwise the answer is negative. Remember though, that division by 0 is not defined.
Multiplying something by a negative number makes it change signs. A positive number multiplied by a negative is negative therefore a negative * a negative is positive.
Multiply two integers disregarding the signs. Then if the signs are the same, the answer is positive and if the signs are different, the answer is negative. Alternatively, if you are multiplying together a whole bunch of numbers, first find the product while ignoring the signs. Then count all the negative numbers. If the count is even, the answer is positive and if it is odd, the answer is negative.
Consider that you have a negative times a positive, so the final result will be negative.Work out 24 x 2/3 and make sure the result is negative.When multiplying numbers, there are 2 different cases to think about with regard to the signs of the numbers:If the signs of the numbers are the same (positive and positive, or negative and negative) then the result will be positive;Otherwise if the signs are different (that is if one number is positive and the other is negative) the result will be negative.
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.
It depends on the signs.Positive*Positive=PositiveNegative*Negative=PositiveNegative*Positive=Negative
If the two numbers have different signs, then the result will be negative. If the two numbers have the same signs, the result will be positive. This assumes all the numbers are non-zero.
You get a positive answer when multiplying two alike signs because since its an even number of positive signs, the number will be positive. For example, -2 x -4= 8 since there are an even amount of negative signs.
Multiplication or division of two numbers of opposite signs: negative*positive, positive*negative, negative/positive, and positive/negative. Addition of two negative numbers: -5 + -2 = -7 Multiplying pure imaginary numbers of the same 'sign' : 5i * 2i = -10. -3i * -4i = -12. Dividing pure imaginary numbers of different signs (this comes from the fact that 1/i = -i, and i/i = +1)
It is easiest to think about the signs of the numbers separately from their values (as though the numbers were positive):First consider the signs:Multiplying positive by positive => result is positiveMultiplying positive by negative => result is negativeMultiplying negative by positive => result is negativeMultiplying negative by negative => result is positiveOr to summarise:If the numbers are the same sign (both positive or both negative) the result is positive.If the numbers are of opposite signs (one positive, one negative) the result is negative.Then multiply the values of the two numbers together (multiply them as though both were positive) and put the sign on the result as decided above.eg to multiply -24 by 3:negative times positive => result negative (different signs)24 x 3 = 72sign found in step 1 to be negative, so -24 x 3 = -72eg to multiply -15 by -1/3negative times negative => result positive (same signs)15 x 1/3 = 5sign found in step 1 to be positive, so -15 x -1/3 = 5eg to multiply 12 by -1/4positive times negative => result negative (different signs)12 x 1/4 = 3sign found in step 1 to be negative, so 12 x -1/4 = -3.
Evaluate each expression. | 9 | = -9 because Multiplying and Dividing with Positive and Negative Numbers. ... When the signs of the two numbers are the same, the answer will be positive. When the signs of the two numbers are different, the answer will be negative.
Positive x negative = negative (Negative x positive = negative) Positive x positive = positive Negative x negative = positive So if the signs are the same the answer is positive and if they are different it is negative.
always a positiveMultiplying and dividing rule:(remember this; it's very useful) When you multiply or divide two numbers . . .-- If they both have the same sign, then the answer is positive.-- If they have different signs, then the answer is negative.
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.
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.
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.
Multiplying or dividing a positive and negative gives a negative result. Multiplying or dividing two negatives gives a positive result.
Just ignore the signs, and go ahead and multiply or divide your numbers.Then, when you finish multiplying or dividing . . .-- If the two original numbers had the same sign, then the answer is positive.-- If the two original numbers had different signs, then the answer is negative.Easy, eh ?
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
When comparing two numbers-- Like signs means that both numbers are negative or both numbers are positive. Unlike signs means that one number is positive and one number is negative.
