how to multiply negative numbers. 1. multiply the two numbers and first forget about the negative or positive signs. 2. Now look at the signs, if both numbers you multiplied were negative the answer is positive so what you have in step 1 above is the answer, if not, go to step 3. 3. One number is positive and one is negative so take your answer in step one and put a negative sign in front of it. 4. If there are more than 2 numbers, group them by pairs any way you want and follow this step by step for each pair.

How do you multiply a negative number with a positive fraction?
It is easiest to think about the signs of the numbers separately from their values (as though the numbers were positive):First consider the signs:Multiplying positive by positive => result is positiveMultiplying positive by negative => result is negativeMultiplying negative by positive => result is negativeMultiplying negative by negative => result is positiveOr to summarise:If the numbers are the same sign (both positive or both negative) the result is positive.If the numbers are of opposite signs (one positive, one negative) the result is negative.Then multiply the values of the two numbers together (multiply them as though both were positive) and put the sign on the result as decided above.eg to multiply -24 by 3:negative times positive => result negative (different signs)24 x 3 = 72sign found in step 1 to be negative, so -24 x 3 = -72eg to multiply -15 by -1/3negative times negative => result positive (same signs)15 x 1/3 = 5sign found in step 1 to be positive, so -15 x -1/3 = 5eg to multiply 12 by -1/4positive times negative => result negative (different signs)12 x 1/4 = 3sign found in step 1 to be negative, so 12 x -1/4 = -3.

What is negative 4 times negative 11 plus negative 22?
To multiply two numbers with negatives involved you first multiply them normally. In this case 4x11 = 44. The next step is to assess whether the answer is positive or negative. In cases where there is one negative and one positive in the multiplication, the answer will be negative. Otherwise, the answer will be positive. In this case, both numbers were negative so the answer must be positive. Thus we have 44 and need to add negative 22. Adding negative numbers is the same as subtracting those numbers. Thus the question is 44-22 = 22. Therefore, negative 4 times negative 11 plus negative 22 is 22.
