What is a negative times a positive times a positive?
A negative. If you have a string of positive and negative numbers multiplied together, all you need to find the sign of the answer is to find the parity of the negative numbers. If there are an odd number of negatives then the answer is negative and if there are an even number of negatives then the answer is positive. Remember, positive numbers make no difference to the sign of the answer.
How do you find the quotient of the two numbers when one is positive and one is negative?
Pretend both the numbers are positive, find the quotient as normal and then make it negative.
How do you find gcf of negative number?
By treating it as a positive number. Since negative numbers include the factors of their positive counterparts and all positive numbers are greater than all negative numbers, the GCF will always be positive. The GCFs of (3, 9), (3, -9), (-3, 9) and (-3, -9) are all the same: positive 3.
How do you find the product of two numbers when one is positive and one is nagative?
Multiply them. The answer will be negative.
How can you find the total combination of positive and negative numbers?
Aleph-null (a listable infinity).

How do you find the quotient of the two numbers when one is positive and one is negative?
Pretend both the numbers are positive, find the quotient as normal and then make it negative.
How can we find the LCM of negative numbers?
The same as with positive numbers. You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
Explain how you can find the sign of the product of two or more rational numbers?
Negative times negative equals positive. Positive times positive equals positive. Positive times negative equals negative. If you have more than two numbers, multiply the first two and then apply these rules to each successive number in turn.
How do you know if a number will be positive or negative when adding?
Numbers are positive unless they have a minus sign (-) in front of them, in which case they are negative. As for the sum of positive and negative numbers, just add them up and find out. Add the positive, subtract the negative. It's very logical.
How do you find the median of a group of numbers with positive and negative numbers?
This is accomplished the same way as with positive integers. Add all of the numbers together and divide by (positive) 2. Don't let the negative signs fool you!
How do you find the product of two numbers when one is positive and the other is negative?
put the positive in front of the negative and just subrtact like to positive numbers. ex. x+(-y)= x-y
How do you find gcf of negative number?

How do you find the product of two numbers when one is positive and one is negative?
A product is the answer when you multiply numbers or terms together. The product of two positive numbers is positive. ie. 2x2=4. The product of two negative numbers is positive. ie -(2)x(-2)=4 The product of a negative number and positive number is a negative number. ie. (-2)x 2=-4 In general, multiply the numbers as you normally would, and if the signs are different. the product is negative. If the signs are all the same, the product is positive. Remember that if a negative number is outside brackets, the question might be approached a bit differently.
How do you add negative numbers to positive numbers?
To add a negative number and a positive number: -- Find the difference of their absolute values (their sizes, ignoring their signs). -- Give it the same sign as whichever of the original two numbers had the larger absolute value.
