The sum will retain the sign of whichever integer has the higher absolute value.

Since 7 is greater than 4,

-7 + 4 = -3

7 + -4 = 3

How do you determine the sign of a quotient two integers?

-- If the two integers have the same sign, their quotient is positive. -- If the two integers have different signs, their quotient is negative.


When you multiply or divide two integers how can you determine whether the answere will be a positive or negative?

If the two numbers that are being multiplied or divided have the SAME sign, the answer is positive, if they have DIFFERENT signs, the answer will be negative.


When adding integers how can you tell whether the sum will be positive negative or zero without really adding?

To determine whether the sum of integers will be positive, negative, or zero without actually adding, you can compare the counts of positive and negative integers. If there are more positive integers than negative ones, the sum will be positive. Conversely, if there are more negative integers, the sum will be negative. If the counts are equal and they are of the same absolute value, the sum will be zero.


How is adding to negative integers the same as and different from subtracting two positive integers?

No- adding negative numbers is like adding positive numbesr , except the answer is negative.


What are non positive integers?

What is the sign of the product of three positive integers and five negative integers?

The product of three positive integers is positive, and the product of five negative integers is negative. When you multiply a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative. Therefore, the sign of the product of three positive integers and five negative integers is negative.


The sum of two negative integers is a positive integer?

No, the sum of two negative integers is not a positive integer. For example, if you add -5 and -6 together the sum would be -11.


What can you tell about two integers when their quotient is positive negative zero?

Their quotient is positive if the integers have the same sign;negative if the integers have different signs;zero if the dividend is zero (and the divisor is not).


How can you compare a positive integer to a negative integer?

All positive integers are all greater than negative integers.


Rule for multiplying integers?

Positive x negative = negative (Negative x positive = negative) Positive x positive = positive Negative x negative = positive So if the signs are the same the answer is positive and if they are different it is negative.


What is the rule for dividing integers?

When dividing numbers that are different the answer will be negative.


What is the rules for multiplication integers?

When multiplying integers, multiplying by the same sign will always produce a positive integer. Such as a negative times a negative equals a positive. If the signs are different then the product will be a negative.
