List numbers that multiply to make 28 and find their sums. Since negative times a negative is positive, list the negatives.
-1, -28 = -29
-2, -14 = -15
-4, -7 = -11
Aha! -4 and -7 multiply to make 28 and add to -11; therefore, -4 and -7 are the two numbers.

If the two numbers you are multiplying are both negatives, the answer will be a positive,(two negatives make a positive).If you multiply a negative and a positive the result willbe a negative,(different symbols will result in negative.============================So, if I can squeeze in here for a second and actually answer the question . . .To multiply a negative number by another negative number, throw away bothnegative signs, and proceed just as if both numbers were positive.

Yes.
The two numbers that can multiply to make 38 are 1 and 38, as 1 multiplied by 38 equals 38. Another pair of numbers that can multiply to make 38 is 2 and 19, as 2 multiplied by 19 also equals 38. These are the only pairs of whole numbers that can multiply to give 38.

4 and 7
That is false. A negative times a negative is always a positive. Since absolute numbers are always positive if you make it negative that is not correct.
There are no numbers that you can multiply by itself that would make a negative number.

You multiply or divide integers just as you do whole numbers, except you must keep track of the signs. To multiply or divide signed integers, always multiply or divide the absolute values and use these rules to determine the sign of the answer.When you multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer positive.Positive x positive = positiveNegative x negative = positiveWhen you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative.Positive x negative = negativeNegative x positive = negative.

To multiply a negative and positive just multiply regularly and then make negative ex. 6*-5=-30 In general, here are the rules for multiplying signed numbers: positive x positive = a positive 4 x 5 = +20 positive x negative = a negative 4 x -5 = -20 negative x positive = a negative -5 x 4 = -20 negative x negative = a positive -5 x -4 = +20
Yes.
You can multiply or divide it by any negative number.
