FAQ
What are the sign rules for multiplying and dividing two integers?
The product or quotient of two integers with the same sign (both positive or both negative) is always positive; the product or quotient of two integers with opposite signs (one positive and one negative) is always negative.
Why is the product of two negative integers positive?
Following the distributive property and pattern consistency—for example, (-3) × 2 = -6, (-3) × 1 = -3, (-3) × 0 = 0—each decrease of 1 in the multiplier increases the product by 3, so (-3) × (-1) = +3 and (-3) × (-2) = +6.
