Multipication of a Positive Integer and a Negative Integers

Multiplication (Two Positive Integers) Multiplication (Two Negative Integers) Multipication (Positive and Negative Integer) Multiplication of Three or more negative integers

In such a situation, we are given one positive integers and one negative integer for multipication. We multiply the whole numbers and put a negative sign(-) before the product.
In other words, whenever we multiply a negative integer and a positive integers we always get a negative integer.

b>Following examples will help you further in understanding :-
Example 1 = Find the product of a positive integer 8 and a negative integer (-3)
Answer = To find the product, we will multiply both the whole numbers i.e 8 and (-3).
8 * 3 = 24,
Now, we know that we have one positive and one negative integer, so we put negative sign(-) before the product i.e 24,
Hence we get (-24) as the product of the above two given integers.

Example 1 = Find the product of a negative integer (-20) and a positive integer 10.
Answer = To find the product, we will multiply both the whole numbers i.e (-20) and 10
20 * 10 = 200
Now, we know that we have one positive and one negative integer, so we put negative sign(-) before the product i.e 200,
Hence we get (-200) as the product of the above two given integers.
