To multiply integers, follow these rules:
1. If the signs are the same, the product is positive. (+, +) or (-, -)
2. If the signs are different, the product is negative. (-. +) or (+, -)
3. Multiply the absolute values of the numbers.
4. Apply the sign to the product.
Example: (-3) x (-4) = 12

Multiplying Integers

Trivia: When multiplying integers, if the signs are the same, the product is positive.
But if the signs are different, the product is negative.
Any questions?????????

Rules for Multiplying Integers

• Positive x Positive: Multiply as usual, the result is _________.

• Negative x Negative: Multiply as usual, the result is ________.

• Positive x Negative: Multiply as usual, the result is _________.

• Negative x Positive: Multiply as usual, the result is _________.

Negative

Trivia: When you multiply a positive (+) number with a negative number(-) , the result is always negative. This is because multiplying a positive number by a negative number is the same as adding the negative number multiple times.
For example, 3 multiplied by -2 is equal to (-2) + (-2) + (-2) or -6

So, remember that when you multiply a positive number with a negative number, the answer is always negative!

Multiplying Integers:

• When multiplying integers with different signs:

• If one number is positive and the other is negative, the product is negative.

• If one number is negative and the other is positive, the product is negative.

• Example: (-3) x 4 = -12 or (-3) + (-3) + (-3) + (-3)

Mastering Integer Division

• Dividing two integers with the same sign results in a positive quotient.

• Dividing two integers with different signs results in a negative quotient.

• Remember to drop any remainder when dividing integers.

• Be cautious when dividing by zero, as it is undefined.

Dividing Integers

Note: When you divide two integers with different signs, the quotient is always negative. This is because dividing integers with different signs results in a negative value.

For example, -6 divided by 2 equals -3. Remember, the sign of the quotient depends on the signs of the integers being divided!

Rules for Dividing Integers

• When dividing integers with the same sign, the quotient is ________.

• When dividing integers with different signs, the quotient is ________.
