How do you find the greatest common factor of a positive and negative number?
Well, to get a negative number, when multiplying, you must have a negative and a posative. Therefore their would be one negative and posative solution, which would allow you to find a GCF for both a posative and negative number. Here's and example: Find the GCF of 4, and -12 You would factor each of them : you would have 4: 2,2 1,4 -12: 6,-2 2,-6 12,-1 .12,1 3,-4 4,-3 You would then determine that using that data, 4 would be the greatest common facotr of those two numbers.
What is the product of greatest negative integer and smallest positive integer?
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
Is 0 the smallest integer?
No. Integers are positive and negative whole numbers (…, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …). As there are an infinite number of negative integers as they approach negative infinity (the greatest negative integer being -1), there can be no smallest (negative) integer.
What is the negative of a negative number?
