The same as with positive numbers. The factors of negative numbers have the same absolute value. One set positive, one set negative.

What are the factor pairs of NEGATIVE numbers?
So, when two negative numbers multiply, their product is a positive number (Remember the rule: minus x minus = plus). So, both the numbers in the factor pair should be either negative or positive to give a positive number as a product. For example: (-3 and -6) and (-2 and -9) form factor pairs for 18.
Where do you see negative numbers?
Where do we see negative numbers
What set does a negative fraction belong to?
It belongs to the set of negative rational numbers, negative real numbers, fractionall numbers, rational numbers, real numbers.
Are all negative numbers are rational?
No, not all negative numbers are rational. There are many negative numbers that are irrational, just like the positive numbers.
Can rational numbers not be negative?
Rational numbers can be negative or positive.
Do negative numbers have a factor of 1?
Yes.
What factor do all negative numbers have in common?
One and negative one.
Why can't you factor negative radical numbers?
You cannot factor negative radical numbers because the square of a number must always be positive. A negative number multiplied by a negative number produces a positive number. So, it is impossible to have a negative radical.
Can negative numbers have prime factorizations?
No. Any factor string of a negative number would have to include at least one negative number and there aren't any negative prime numbers.

Is negative 9 a factor of 9?
Yes, technically, since -9 x -1 = 9 In general, we don't list negative factors of positive numbers. We do list negative factors of negative numbers.
Is -2 a factor of 2?
Yes, technically, since -2 x -2 = 2. We generally don't use negative factors of positive numbers. We do list negative factors of negative numbers.
Can you get a greatest common factor for negative numbers?
Sure. But since negative numbers have positive factors and positive numbers are greater than negative numbers, the answer will be the same regardless of the sign. The GCF of 4 and 9, -4 and 9, 4 and -9 and -4 and -9 is 1.
What is the factor tree of 400?
We generally don't do factor trees of negative numbers, since factor trees are designed to obtain the prime factorization and negative numbers don't have prime factorizations. Here's 400: 400 200,2 100,2,2 50,2,2,2 25,2,2,2,2 5,5,2,2,2,2
Is it possible to find the prime factorization of a negative number and how do you do it?
No. Any factor string of a negative number would have to include at least one negative number and there aren't any negative prime numbers.
Is it possible to find the prime factorization of a negative number?
