Multiplying and Dividing Integers

Multiplying Integers
If the factors have the same sign, then the product is
POSITIVE.
EX. (−7)(−4) =28

If the factors have different signs, then the product is

NEGATIVE.
EX. (−7)(4) =−28

Tricks Multiplying Multiple INTEGERS

When there are an ODD number of negative factors,

the answer is NEGATIVE.
EX. (−3)(4)(−2)(−3) =−72

When there are an EVEN number of negative factors,

the answer is POSITIVE.
EX. (−2)(−8)(3)(10) =480
 Dividing Integers

If the dividend and divisor have the same sign, then

the quotient is POSITIVE.
EX. −32 ÷ (−4) =8

If the dividend and divisor have different signs, then

the quotient is NEGATIVE.
EX. −81 ÷ 9=(−9)
