Question

What will be the sign of the resultant integer if we multiply 5 negative integers and 2 positive integers

Answer 1

the sign of the resultant integer if we multiply 5 negative integers and 2 positive integers will be negative.

Answer 2

To answer this, you need to know that if you multiply two numbers together, if they are either both odd or both even, the result is a positive number, otherwise if one is positive and the other negative, you get a negative number. From there, you should see that an odd number of negative numbers yield a negative number, and an even number positive.

Sine 5 is odd, you are left with a negative number.
