If two numbers are multiplied and one of them is negative, the answer will turn out negative.
If the two numbers being multiplied are either both negative or both positive, the answer will turn out positive.
Example:
-2 * 2 = -4
-2 * -2 = 4
2 * 2 = 4
Negative times negative equals positive.
Three times negative six means multiplying the number three by negative six. The calculation results in negative eighteen, as multiplying a positive number by a negative number yields a negative product. In mathematical terms, it can be expressed as 3 × (-6) = -18.
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.
Minus. You are multiplying a negative number a positive number of times. -3(2) -9
Three times negative one equals negative three. In mathematical terms, ( 3 \times (-1) = -3 ). This is because multiplying a positive number by a negative number results in a negative product.
The same as a positive one. If you are multiplying a positive number by a negative, the answer will be negative. If you are multiplying a negative number by a negative, the answer will be positive.
A negative times a negative times a negative (NxNxN) is a : Negative!!! Negative times a negative is positive. A positive times a negative is a negative. Remember if you are multiplying an odd number of negatives irrespective of the number of positives, it is always a negative. If you are multiplying an even number of negatives then the answer is a positive. EX: -2 x -1 x -2 ( 3 negatives so answer is negative) 2 x -2 -4 -3x-5x-1x-1x2x1 ( 4 negatives so answer is positive) 15x1x2 30
Multiplying a positive number by a negative number gives a negative number. For example, 4 x (-2) = -8.
A negative number e.g 3 times -4 = -12 Do the normal sum then add in the minus (when timing) :)
Negative times negative equals positive.
When multiplying a number by a negative number, the result is always negative. Therefore, 2 times a negative 2 is -4. This can be calculated by multiplying 2 by -2, resulting in -4 as the product.
Three times negative six means multiplying the number three by negative six. The calculation results in negative eighteen, as multiplying a positive number by a negative number yields a negative product. In mathematical terms, it can be expressed as 3 × (-6) = -18.

A positive number multiplied by another positive number yields a positive number. A negative number multiplied by another negative number also yields a positive number. Only multiplying a negative number by a positive number (or the other way around) yields a negative number as the product.

A positive number times a positive number will always get you a positive number A negative number times a negative number will always get you a positive number (same signs will get you a positive number) but A positive number times a negative number will always get you a negative number or A negative number times a positive number will always get you a negative number (different signs will get you a negative number)
