How Do I Multiply & Divide Integers?

Multiplying & Dividing Integers Is Simple...

   x, . , ( ) -> Product = The Answer of a Multiplication Problem

   /, ÷ -> Quotient= The Answer of a Division Problem

Multiplication and Division of Integers is similar to that of whole numbers (both positive) except the sign of the product/quotient needs to be determined.

  • If both the factors are positive, the product/quotient will be positive.
  • If both the factors are negative, the product/quotient will be positive.
  • If only one of the factors is negative, the product/quotient will be negative.

 

In other words, if the signs are the same the product/quotient will be positive, if they are different, the product/quotient will be negative.
