If you're talking about multiplication or division, then opposite signs will result in a negative number.
When you multiply a negative number by a positive number, the result is always a negative number. This is due to the rules of multiplication, where the sign of the product is determined by the signs of the factors. Specifically, a negative times a positive yields a negative. For example, multiplying -3 by 4 results in -12.
negative. When you multiply, if there are an odd number of negative signs, the answer is negative. If there are an even number of negative signs, the answer is positive. Or another way to think of this is that two negative signs cancel each other out when multiplying.

If the signs of both numbers are the same, the product will be positive. If the signs of the numbers are different, the product will be negative.

The rules for division are exactly the same as the rules for multiplication. * Division (or multiplication) of a positive number by a positive number = positive * Division of a positive number by a negative number = negative * Division of a negative number by a positive number = negative * Division of a negative number by a negative number = positive If you have trouble remembering any of these, just try out a sample division on any calculator - for instance, if you divide (-1) / (-1) you get +1.
A Negative. Here is a little table for the multiplication/divison of 'double' signs. = + =- = - = + NB If no sign is given in the front of a number, then read it as plus(+).

No, the rule for multiplication is much easier than that. If the two numbers have the same sign, then their product is positive. If they have different signs, then their product is negative.
when you are dividing 2 numbers with the same sign the answer is ALWAYS positive but when you are dividing 2 number with opposite signs the answer is ALWAYS negitive. the same is true with multiplication also

well the . is multiplication. a number and another number separated with a _ is multiplication. a + is addition, and a - is subtraction. got it? teehee!
multiplication signs: x , * , . , (Dot)
It's a positive number. Here's the rule: In multiplication and division . . . -- If both numbers have the same sign, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is positive. -- If the two numbers have different signs, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is negative.
