How do you multiply positive and negative integers?

Sagot :

AL2006
-- Ignore the signs and multiply the numbers.

-- If the original two numbers have the same sign, then the product is positive.

-- If the original two numbers have different signs, then the product is negative.

example: (-8)×(+2)=-16

 multiply 8×2= 16 and since  the signs are different the answer is a negative number
