When you multiply two numbers with the same sign, you are essentially combining their magnitudes in a way that reflects their directional relationship. For instance, multiplying two positive numbers indicates that you are increasing a quantity in the same direction, resulting in a positive outcome. Similarly, multiplying two negative numbers can be thought of as reversing the direction twice, leading to a net positive result. This consistent rule stems from the properties of numbers and how they relate to one another on the number line.

The answer is always positive (or 0).
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 answer is always positive. If the signs are the same (positive by positive, negative by negative), then the quotient is always positive. If the signs are different (positive by negative, negative by positive), then the quotient is always negative.
When multiplying or dividing . . .If the signs of both numbers are the same, the result is positive.If the signs of both numbers are different, the result is negative.
When you multiply two integers of the same sign, the answer is always positive. A positive times a positive is positive and a negative times a negative is positive.
