To multiply negative integers first invision that all signs (positive and negative alike) are gone. Then multiply as you normally would (like 5 x 3 = 15). Then worry about the sign: positive x positive = positive positive x negative = negative negative x positive = negative negative x negative = positive For example, do calculate (-5) x (-3), first invision the signs are gone (5 x 3 = 15). Now worry about the signs (negative x negative = positive). So the answer is +15 (or simply 15). Another, slightly more complicated example: (-4) x (8) ignore the signs: 4 x 8 = 32. Worry about the signs: negative x positive = negative So the answer is -32.
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
When you add two negative integers, the answer is still negative.
Yes. The commutative property of addition (as well as the commutative property of multiplication) applies to all real numbers, and even to complex numbers. As an example (for integers): 5 + (-3) = (-3) + 5
There are no negative integers greater than five.
Yes
Yes, the set of negative integers is closed under multiplication. This means that when you multiply two negative integers, the product is always a positive integer. For example, multiplying -2 and -3 results in 6, which is a positive integer. Thus, the multiplication of any two negative integers does not yield a negative integer.
No.
No, it is not.

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.
Negative. -2 + -3 = -5 You might be confused with multiplication, where the product is positive
Two integers whose product is negative must consist of one positive integer and one negative integer. This is because the multiplication of a positive number and a negative number yields a negative result. For example, if we take the integers 3 and -4, their product is 3 × (-4) = -12, which is negative.
If you mean the set of non-negative integers ("whole numbers" is a bit ambiguous in this sense), it is closed under addition and multiplication. If you mean "integers", the set is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication.
Multiplying integers involves combining whole numbers to determine how many times one integer is added to itself. For example, multiplying 3 by 4 means adding 3 together four times (3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12). The product of two integers can be positive or negative, depending on the signs of the integers involved: a positive times a positive or a negative times a negative results in a positive product, while a positive times a negative results in a negative product. Overall, multiplication of integers is a fundamental arithmetic operation used in various mathematical applications.
1 No. 2 No. 3 Yes.
The set of negative rational integers is closed under the operations of addition and multiplication. This means that when you add or multiply any two negative rational integers, the result will also be a negative rational integer. However, it is not closed under subtraction, as subtracting a larger negative integer from a smaller one can result in a non-negative integer.
The product (meaning multiplication) will be a negative integer. E.g. 2 * -2 = -4
