It may be either.
If any of the integers is zero, the product will be zero.
Else, if one or three of the integers is negative, the product will be negative.
Otherwise, it will be positive.

The sign of the product of four integers depends on the signs of the individual integers. There are 4 cases: 1) When all 4 integers share the same sign and all are non-zero (either all are positive or all are negative), the product is positive. 2) When 3 of the 4 integers share the same sign and all are non-zero (3 are positive and 1 is negative; or 3 are negative and 1 is positive), the product is negative. 3) When 2 of the integers are positive non-zero and the other 2 of the integers are negative non-zero, the product is positive. 4) If even one of the integers is zero, the product is zero (no sign - it is neither positive nor negative).
No. Odd numbers of negative integers will have a negative product. Even numbers of negative integers will have a positive product.Examples-1 x -3 x -4 = -12-3 x -4 = 12
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. If you multiply three integers, the product will be positive if all three integers are either positive or negative. If you have two negative integers and one positive integer, the product will be negative. So, like, it depends on the mix of positives and negatives, you know?
The first three positive integers, 1, 2, and 3, satisfy this condition.
The product of two integers cannot be "positive and negative".
