# What is the rule in multiplying integers with the same sign?

###### Answered 2011-07-02 01:44:26

When you multiply two integers of the same sign, the answer is always positive. A positive times a positive is positive and a negative times a negative is positive.

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.

Adding integers, if they have the same sign, add their absolute values and keep the same sign. Subtracting, change the sign of the 2nd number and the add using rules of addition. Multiplying and dividing, Divide the absolute values, if the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.

The general rule is that they are both on the same side of zero on the number line.

It's a positive number. Here's the rule: In multiplication and division . . . -- If both numbers have the same sign, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is positive. -- If the two numbers have different signs, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is negative.

if both have the same sign the answer is positive, if they have different signs the answer is negative.

The value of the answer is the sum of the absolute values of the numbers and the sign of the answer is the same as that of the two numbers.

One rule is that the product of two integers with unlike signs will have a minus sign for the product.

signs are different.... Find the difference.... KEEP THE LARGER SIGN signs are the same... COMBINE AND KEEP THE SIGN

Subtract and the Keep the sign of the one that has more

for integers with tow different signs, it will always be negative in multiplying and division. for adding and subtracting, the sign is for the bigger number.

The product or quotient of two numbers that have the same sign is positive. The product or quotient of two numbers with different signs is negative.

If there are an odd number of numbers with a negative sign then the sign of the product is negative. Otherwise it is positive.

Add the magnitudes of the integers (-4 has a magnitude of 4), then take the sign to the answer.

-- If the two integers have the same sign, their quotient is positive. -- If the two integers have different signs, their quotient is negative.

Add their magnitudes, and keep the same sign for the sum.
