A negative number.
Yes. The product of an odd number (21, in this case) of negative factors will be negative; if the number of negative factors is even, the product will be positive.
If an even number of negative factors are multiplied together (such as 18 factors), the answer will be positive. If there are an odd number of negative factors, the answer will be negative.
If a product of integers has an even number of negative factors, the sign of the product is positive. This is because a negative factor flips the sign of the product, and an even number of such flips will result in a positive outcome. Conversely, if there were an odd number of negative factors, the product would be negative.
When you raise a negative number to an odd power, the multiplication of an odd number of negative factors results in a negative product. In contrast, raising a negative number to an even power involves multiplying it by itself an even number of times, which pairs up the negative factors to yield a positive product. This is due to the fact that multiplying two negative numbers produces a positive result. Thus, the overall effect of multiplying an even number of negative factors is positive.
The product of 5 negative integers will be negative, as an odd number of negative factors results in a negative product. When you multiply this negative product by 4 positive integers, the overall product will remain negative because multiplying a negative number by a positive number yields a negative result. Therefore, the sign of the product will be negative.
Only if an odd number of the factors are negative numbers.
If you are multiplying negative numbers, an odd number of factors will have a negative product. An even number of factors will have a positive product.
negative
False. The product of an odd number of negatives is negative.
even
The sign of the factors. These are the rules: * If there is a zero factor, the product is zero. * If there is an even number of negative factors (two, four, six, etc. odd factors), the product is positive. * If there is an odd number of negative factors (one, three, five, etc. odd factors), the productd is negative.

The product of an odd number of negative numbers will be negative.
(-2)(-3)(-4) = -24. (6)(-4) = -24. So the product of an odd number of negative integers is a negative number.
