How do you multiply and divide negative integers
Same as positive numbers. Just watch the sign.
If there's 2 negative signs, it's positive, if there's one of each, it's negative. Otherwise, it's exactly the same.
So -6/-6 is positive
Yea, then you just answer like you normally would.
If there's two negative, it's the same process as two positive.
Fractions have three signs. \(\pm\dfrac{\pm}{\pm}\). Change any two and nothign happens. \(-\dfrac{2}{3} = -\dfrac{-2}{-3} = \dfrac{-2}{3} = \dfrac{2}{-3}\)
Ok. So -6/-6=1?
Idk if we're allowed to give straight answers, but as an example, -1358/-1358 is 1.
I'm just taking math notes
Ok, well that's basically the process. Just be cautious if there's something like -6/3, because that's -2.
So -6/3=-2 and 6/-3=-2 or just 2
If either is negative, the answer is negative.
`How do you multiply and divide negative integers` multiply and divide like normal with 2 positive integers. Then you use these rules * If the two numbers are the same sign (both positive or both negative) then the answer is positive * If the two numbers differ in sign (one is positive, the other negative), then the result is negative
Thanks. I'm trying to learn what we are doing in class before we do it so I can get good grades
Nice, that's a pretty good habit. Wish I could be that determined...Anyways, good luck with that.

No. Just no.
