When two numbers with different signs are multiplied or divided, the answer is negative.
You add all the numbers with + signs and subtract all that have minus signs.
Then you are adding two rational numbers with different signs! No big deal!
If the two numbers have different signs, then the result will be negative. If the two numbers have the same signs, the result will be positive. This assumes all the numbers are non-zero.
Same rules as adding whole numbers with different signs.
When two numbers with different signs are multiplied or divided, the answer is negative.
The answer will depend on the signs of the numbers being multiplied.
Temporarily ignore the signs and multiply or divide as usualIf signs of the two numbers to be multiplied or divided, add + sign to your answer. If signs are different, add - ( minus) to your answer.+ signs are optional-- a number without a sign is assumed to be positive.
Multiply two integers disregarding the signs. Then if the signs are the same, the answer is positive and if the signs are different, the answer is negative. Alternatively, if you are multiplying together a whole bunch of numbers, first find the product while ignoring the signs. Then count all the negative numbers. If the count is even, the answer is positive and if it is odd, the answer is negative.

If the two numbers that are being multiplied or divided have the SAME sign, the answer is positive, if they have DIFFERENT signs, the answer will be negative.

The value of the quotient of two integers with different signs is the same as if the signs were the same. Because the numbers have different signs, the quotient is negative.
In mathematics, the term "product" refers to the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. When you see the phrase "product is plus or minus," it typically means that the result of the multiplication can be either positive or negative, depending on the signs of the numbers being multiplied. For example, when you multiply a positive number by a positive number, the product is positive. When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the product is also positive.
If you are talking about same numbers but different signs then there are a lot. such a l-4l = l4l because they are the same amount of space to the zero.
