What determines the sign of a product?
The sign of the factors. These are the rules: * If there is a zero factor, the product is zero. * If there is an even number of negative factors (two, four, six, etc. odd factors), the product is positive. * If there is an odd number of negative factors (one, three, five, etc. odd factors), the productd is negative.

Two consecutive negative integers have a product of 240 what are the integers?
First, we are not interested for the sign of the numbers, because the product of two negative numbers is always positive, so we need to find the two consecutive factors of 240, which are 15 and 16. Thus, the numbers are -16 and -15.
