If the dividend and divisor have the same sign, then the quotient is positive. If their signs are different, then the quotient is negative.
++ = + +- = - Like signs always give me plus. Unlike signs always give me minus when I multiply! My maths teacher made us learn that! :D
Positive and negative signs are unlike one another.
numbers with Like signs : result Plusnumbers with Unlike signs : result Minus
-- If the two integers have the same sign, their quotient is positive. -- If the two integers have different signs, their quotient is negative.
The numerical value is the same as the quotient of the two positive equivalents but the sign is always negative.
Just ignore the signs, and go ahead and multiply or divide your numbers.Then, when you finish multiplying or dividing . . .-- If the two original numbers had the same sign, then the answer is positive.-- If the two original numbers had different signs, then the answer is negative.Easy, eh ?
The magnitude of the answer is the difference between the two numbers and it has the sign of the integer which has the bigger magnitude. I guess so?
One rule is that the product of two integers with unlike signs will have a minus sign for the product.
If one or both numbers are zero, then the answer is zero;if the two numbers have the same sign, then the answer is positive;if the two numbers have different signs, then the answer is negative.Incidentally, this is true of all real numbers, not just rationals.
It's a positive number. Here's the rule: In multiplication and division . . . -- If both numbers have the same sign, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is positive. -- If the two numbers have different signs, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is negative.
To find the Quotient and Product of two integers this is how it works if the two numbers are the same sign then it would be a postivite answer but if the two number has different signs the answer would be negative but that is only with muilty and divison
