Multiplication: how to do Multiplying Integers

Published by admin on 2024年3月31日2024年3月31日

To multiply integers, follow these steps:

1. Determine the sign of the product by multiplying the signs of the factors.
2. Write the absolute values of the numbers as numerators in a fraction.
3. Multiply the numerators and denominators together using standard multiplication rules.
4. If the result is positive, include the original signs from step 1. If the result is negative, change the sign of both the numerator and denominator.

For example:
– 5 x 7 = (5)(7) = 35
– -6 x 9 = (-6)(9) = -54
– -8 x 4 = (-8)(4) = -32
