When multiplying two integers, the product follows these basic rules: If both integers have the same sign (either both positive or both negative), the product is positive. If the integers have different signs (one positive and one negative), the product is negative. For example, (3 \times 4 = 12) (positive) and (-3 \times -4 = 12) (positive), while (3 \times -4 = -12) (negative).
Multiplying and dividing integers and rational numbers follow the same fundamental rules. In both cases, the product of two numbers is determined by multiplying their absolute values and applying the appropriate sign rules. Similarly, division involves inverting the divisor and multiplying, maintaining the same sign conventions. Thus, the processes are consistent, with rational numbers simply extending the concept to fractions.
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.
The rules are not the same.Multiplication is commutative whereas division is not.Multiplication is associative whereas division is not.
They aren't. The rules are the same as those for adding/subtracting or multiplying integers. Just be careful of the decimal point's location.
It follows from the definition of multiplication.
Because it is.
The answer depends on which properties are being used to prove which rules.

The product of two integers is found by multiplying them. Eg. the product of 5 and 3 is 15.
The answer is a positive number.
Yes, when multiplying integers, the rules for signs apply consistently. If both integers have the same sign (either both positive or both negative), the product is positive. If the integers have different signs (one positive and one negative), the product is negative. This rule is fundamental in arithmetic involving integers.
Multiplying is the opposite of dividing, whether it be using integers or other numbers and variables. Technically, multiplying and dividing integers is different, but the two processes are very strongly related to each other. For example, if one multiplies two and two together, one gets four as an answer. If one then divides four by two, one gets two. The multiplication of the 2 was reversed by the division of the 2.
Placing a question mark at the end of a phrase does not make it a sensible question. Try to use a whole sentence to describe what it is that you want answered. Your "question" sheds no light on what rules for integers you are interested in: rules for addition, subtraction, and so on; rules for multiplying numbers with integer indices, and so on.
