When you multiply
a negative number by a positive number
then the product is always negative.
When you multiply
a positive number by a negative number
then the product is always negative.
( - 2 ) ( + 3 ) = - 6
( - 4 ) ( 1 ) = - 4
( - 1 ) 2 = - 2
( + 2 ) ( - 2 ) = - 4
( 3 ) ( - 2 ) = - 6
4 ( - 2 ) = - 8
Let's use N to represent any number.N x N = NN x -N = -N-N x -N = NSo the rules are:A positive integer times a positive integer will be a positive integerA positive integer times a negative integer will be a negative integerA negative integer times a negative integer will be a positive integer.
positive times negative equals negative
a non-negative integer is a positive integer Example: -2 = 2 -35 = 35
Yes. "Integer" includes positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero.
A non-positive integer is a negative integer. The term refers to any integer (a number that has no decimal part) that is less than zero.It means that it is an integer (whole number), and that it isn't positive. In other words, that includes zero, and negative integers.
positive
Yes, and also a negative integer divided by a negative integer is equal to a positive number (but not necessarily an integer).
A negative integer. Every time.

The quotient of a positive integer by a negative is always negative. Say this to yourself a couple times: "MULTIPLICATION: minus times minus is plus (negative x negative = positive).....minus times plus is minus (negative x positive = negative).....plus times plus is plus (positive x positive = positive) DIVISION: minus divi minus is plus (negative ÷ negative = positive)......minus divi plus is minus (negative ÷ positive = negative).....plus divi plus is plus (positive ÷ positive = positive)"
Negative, as for example: 5 times -4 = -20
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
Negative times positive equals negative.
Any positive integer plus any negative integer will always equal an integer. The results will be either a positive integer, a negative integer or zero.it depends which is bigger. if the positive integer is bigger the answer will be positive. and if the negative integer is bigger the answer will be negative.
When the positive integer is greater than the negative integer.
I honestly don't know :D but heres something to help you "MULTIPLICATION: minus times minus is plus (negative x negative = positive).....minus times plus is minus (negative x positive = negative).....plus times plus is plus (positive x positive = positive) DIVISION: minus divi minus is plus (negative ÷ negative = positive)......minus divi plus is minus (negative ÷ positive = negative).....plus divi plus is plus (positive ÷ positive = positive)"
