Why is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always negative?
It isn't always negative. ... for example: -5 + 12 = 7 (a positive number) -5 + 2 = -3 (a negative number) -5 + 5 = 0 (neither negative nor positive) If the negative number has greater magnitude than the positive number, the sum will be negative If the positive number has greater magnitude than the negative number, the sum will be positive If the negative and positive numbers have the same magnitude, the sum will be zero.
Is the quotient of two integers with the same sign negative?
No. Dividing one negative number by another negative number will always give a positive answer (ie. -10/-5 = +2). Likewise, dividing one positive number by another positive number will always give a positive answer (+10/+5 = +2). A negative answer from division will only be obtained when one of the numbers is negative and the other is positive (+10/-5 = -2 and -10/+5 = -2).
What happens if you add negative number by positive number?
If you add a negative number to a positive number, then it's pretty much subtraction. For instance, -5 + 7 is the same as 7-5.
