Why can't any negative integer be greater than a positive integer?
Look on the numbers on the number line. Numbers more to the left are smaller than numbers more to the right (assuming the number line is written in the standard position). All negative numbers are less than zero; positive numbers are more than zero.
When you add a negative integer with a negative integer do you get a positive integer?
Negative. Sorry. No you do not. Adding a negative to a negative gives you a number that is even more negative. Picture a number line. A negative number is to the left of zero, and adding a negative number moves further left. ■
Why is negative ten less than positive ten even though both numbers are the same distance from 0?

What is the logical reasoning behind why subtracting a negative integer makes it positive?
When subtracting negative integers, one can relate it to the overall attitude of a room. If a room contains a number of people of positive and negative attitude you can get rid of people (or subtract people) with negative attitudes to make the overall attitude of the room more positive. If you subtract a negative integer it makes it positive.
Why is an integer sometimes less than its opposite?
An integer can be negative or positive, so if the integer is, let's say, -6. The opposite, or absolute value, of -6, is 6. So in this case, the opposite has more value than the actual integer. Does that answer the question? :D Best of luck, BrandonRocker98
Flowchart to check whether an integer is positive or negative?
I'll write it as pseudocode; you can easily convert it to a flowchart. If your number is more than 0 (Your number is positive) else if your number is less than 0 (your number is negative) else (your number is equal to zero)
When is then product of a negative integer and a positive integer less than both of its factors?
This is a clever question. I would say: "Always". To be more precise: The product is never greater than either factor, and if neither factor is ' 1 ', then the product is always less than both.
Is a positive number more or less than a negative number?
