Question

product of two integers with different sign is always_____​

Answer 1

When you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative. When you divide two integers with the same sign, the result is always positive...

Answer 2

It is always negative.

• When two numbers with opposite signs are multiplied, the resultant product, or final value, is always negative.
• Suppose, there are two numbers a and b, thus on multiplying both of them the result will be - (−a) × b = −(ab).
• Similarly, if a is positive and b is negative, then the result will again be same, ie. negative. a x  - b = −(ab).
• For example: (-2) x 5 = - 10 or 2 x (-5) = - 10.
