multiplying and dividing a negative number will "flip" the sign of the other number. So multiplying two negative numbers will produce a positive number. Multiplying one positive and one negative number will produce a negative. And of course two positive numbers yield a positive.

True or false when you divide two integers with the same signs the quotient is never going to be negative?
True. If the equation is (-4)divided by (-8) the quotient will be +2 because 8 divided by 4=2 and the two integers are the same, so it's positive. The same goes for multiplying integers.
