Is a negative number bigger than a decimal?
If the decimal is positive, than a negative number is less than 0.
What are the rules fr multiplication and divisions of integers?
(positive number) x (positive number) = positive number (positive number)/(positive number) = positive number (positive number) x ( negative number) = negative number (positive number)/( negative number) = negative number (negative number) x (negative number) = positive number (negative number)/(negative number) = positive number
When dividing negative number by a positive number what is the results?
A negative number divided by a positive number will be a negative number. For example: -20 / 4 = -5 -100 / 2 = -50 Here are the other cases of division by positive or negative numbers. A negative number divided by a negative number would be a positive number. A positive number divided by a positive number would be a positive number. A positive number divided by a negative number would be a negative number.
When multiplying a negative number by a positive number is the result going to be negative or positive?
The result will always be negative. Positive X Positive = Positive Negative X Negative = Positive Positive X Negative = Negative
How do you order two numbers written in scientific notation?
If the signs at the front of the numbers are different then the one with the negative sign is smaller. So the question can be simplified to ordering two numbers that have the same sign. Suppose they are both positive numbers. If one of them has a smaller exponent (power of 10) than the other, then that number is smaller. That then leaves two positive numbers with the same exponent. So the only difference is in the mantissa (or the bit before the power of 10). Since the powers of 10 are the same in both cases, the smaller mantissa gives the smaller number. Going back to the case where both numbers are negative: their ordering is the same as for negative integers, for example. The bigger absolute value gives the smaller negative number.
