Multiplying and Dividing Integers A REVIEW OF THE RULES
Rules • When multiplying and dividing integers there are two rules: • When multiplying or dividing integers that have the SAME sign, the answer is POSITIVE. • Positive x positive = positive • Negative x negative = positive +7 x +12 = +84 -6 x –5 = +30
Rules continued… • Rule 2: • When multiplying or dividing integers whose signs are DIFFERENT, the answer will always be NEGATIVE. • Positive x negative = negative • Negative x positive = negative +8 x –4 = -32 -5 x +7 = -35
Let’s Practice! What sign would the answer have in front of the integer??? -5 x -6 = ???
How about… -6 x 8 = ??? What sign will be in front of the answer??
Try this one! What sign will be in front of the answer??? -72÷ +9 = ???
Let’s TRY SOLVING some problems: -6 x –4 =
So Remember… • When multiplying and dividing integers: Same signs = a positive Different signs = a negative
