Is a negative greater or less than a positive number?
A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.
Is negative 8 greater than 0?
0 is in the exact middle of the number line. All positive numbers are to the right of 0 (greater than 0) and all negative numbers are to the left of 0 (less than 0). So no, -8 is not greater than 0.
Is positive 10 greater than negative 2?
Positive 10 is greater than negative 2. A good way to help visualise is to imagine a number line with 0 in the middle. 1,2,3,4 head off to the right, and -1, -2, -3, -4 head off to the left. The further the right a number is, the greater it is. So 6 is greater than 2. 8 is greater than 0, and 10 is greater than negative 2.
Is multiply a greater number or part?
It depends. If you start with a positive number, then multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater; multiply by 1 and the answer is the same; multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller; multiply by 0 and the answer is 0; multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.
What is negative zero?
Zero is neither negative nor positive. By definition, a positive number is greater than zero. Similarly, a negative number is less than zero. Zero itself does not fit into either of those categories, and is thus neither negative nor positive; it is neutral. "Negative zero" then, is equal to -1 × 0, which equals 0.
Why negative a is greater than zero?
Negative a is greater than, equal to or less than 0 depending on whether a, itself, is less than, equal to or greater than 0.
Is a negative greater or less than a positive number?
A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.
Is 0 greater than a positive or negative number?
Yes.
Is 51 negative?
No. 51 is positive. (It is greater than 0).
Is negative 8 greater than 0?
0 is in the exact middle of the number line. All positive numbers are to the right of 0 (greater than 0) and all negative numbers are to the left of 0 (less than 0). So no, -8 is not greater than 0.
How can negative 1 be greater then 0?
multiply both sides by "negative 1" (or any negative number excluding 0). This would make the side on -1 become a positive number. Any positive number would be greater than 0.
Does a negative number plus a positive number equal a positive?
Not if the negative number is greater than the positive. If the positive number is greater than the negative, it logically follows that the resulting number would be positive. Example: -2 + 1 = -1 -2 + 2 = 0 -2 + 3 = 1
If A and B are real numbers and A is less than 0 and B is less than 0 then is AB less than or greater than 0?
Greater than zero because any negative number times a negative number equals a positive number.
What is greater negative 2 o positive 3?
Positive 3 is > 0 while, negative 2 is < 0. So positive 3 > negative 2.
Is positive 10 greater than negative 2?
Positive 10 is greater than negative 2. A good way to help visualise is to imagine a number line with 0 in the middle. 1,2,3,4 head off to the right, and -1, -2, -3, -4 head off to the left. The further the right a number is, the greater it is. So 6 is greater than 2. 8 is greater than 0, and 10 is greater than negative 2.

Why is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always negative?
It isn't always negative. ... for example: -5 + 12 = 7 (a positive number) -5 + 2 = -3 (a negative number) -5 + 5 = 0 (neither negative nor positive) If the negative number has greater magnitude than the positive number, the sum will be negative If the positive number has greater magnitude than the negative number, the sum will be positive If the negative and positive numbers have the same magnitude, the sum will be zero.
