This document discusses the rules for multiplying and dividing signed integers. It states that when multiplying or dividing two positive integers or two negative integers, the solution is positive, but when multiplying or dividing one positive and one negative integer, the solution is negative. Examples are provided to illustrate these rules. Readers are then asked to practice applying the rules to examples of their own.

Multiplying and
Dividing Signed Integers Positive * Positive When we multiply or divide two integers, the sign rules are different than when we add or subtract signed numbers. When we multiply or divide two positive integers, the solution is positive.
7 • 6 = 42 12 ÷ 3 = 4 2 • 9 = 18 16 ÷ 8 = 2 20 • 1 = 20 8÷8=1 Negative * Negative When we multiply or divide two negative integers, the solution is also positive.
(-7) • (-6) = 42 (-12) ÷ (-3) = 4
(-2) • (-9) = 18 (-16) ÷ (-8) = 2 (-20) • (-1) = 20 (-8) ÷ (-8) = 1 Positive * Negative When we multiply or divide one positive & one negative integer, the solution is always negative, regardless of which is larger or which is written first.
