To start with, the set of integers is a Group. This means that it is a set of elements (numbers) with a binary operation (addition) that combines any two elements in the set to form a third element. This Group, Z, satisfies four axioms: closure, associativity, identity and invertibility. that is, if x , y and z are integers, then
- x + y is an integer (closure).
- (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) (associativity)
- there is an integer, denoted by 0, such that 0 + x = x + 0 = x
- there is an integer, denoted by -x, such that x + (-x) = (-x) + x = 0.
In addition, it is a Ring. A ring is an Abelian group (that is, addition is commutative: x + y = y + x) and it has a second binary operation (multiplication) that is defined on its elements. This second operation satisfies the axioms of closure, associativity and identity. It is also distributive over the first operation. That is,
- x*(y + z) = x*y + x*z

Is the product of two integers positive negative or zero How can you tell?
The product of two integers will be: * Zero, if one factor, or both, are zero. * Positive, if both factors have the same sign (both positive, or both negative) * Negative, if the two factors have different signs. Actually, these rules apply to all real numbers, not just to integers.
When the negative integers the positive integers and 0 are combined the integers are formed?
Negative integers, zero and the positive integers, together form the set of integers.
What are the rules of adding integers?
if the signs are different then u put the larger sing down then u subtract if if the signs are the same then u put the same sign down then u add
Which set is the intersection of integers and rational numbers?
The intersection of integers and rational numbers is the set of integers. Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero, while rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Since all integers can be expressed as a ratio of the integer itself and 1, they are a subset of rational numbers, making their intersection the set of integers.
What are two consecutive integers is 200 between?
"Consecutive" integers are integers that have no other integer between them.
What are the rules for dividing rational numbers are the same as the rules for dividing integers?
The rules are the same.
What are the five integer rules?
I am not at all sure that there are any rules that apply to integers in isolation. Any rules that exist are in the context of binary operations like addition or multiplication of integers.
Rules in subtracting like and unlike sign?
to subtrct integers ,rewrite as adding opposites and use the rules for addtion of integers..
What is the rules for subtracting integers with like signs?
They become positive integers for instance - - 2 = 2
Why do the rules for multiplying integers make sense?
Because it is.
What is the rules of integers in multiplication?
Integers are whole numbers. 1 3/4 is not a integer whereas 1 is.
What are the rules in addition and subtraction integers?
The rules for addition are as follows:The sum of two negative integers is a negative integerThe sum of two positive integers is a positive integerThe rules for subtraction are as follows:If they are two positive numbers, do it normallyIf there is a negative and a positive ,change it to addition and switch the SECOND integer sign
What is the rule on integers?
Rule 1: The term is integer, not interger.Rule 2: The answer depends on what you want to do with it or them.
Rules to subtracting integers?
4/9 - 6/36
Who made the rules for adding and subtracting integers?
David Missoula's
How can properties be used to prove rules for multiplying integers?
The answer depends on which properties are being used to prove which rules.
What are the rules in adding integers with unlike signs?
For each pair of such integers, find the difference between the absolute values of the two integers and allocate the sign of the bigger number to it.
