Sure! I'll explain the rules for multiplying and dividing integers.
Rules for Multiplying Integers:
1. To multiply two integers with the same signs, ignore the signs, multiply the absolute values, and the result will be positive.
Example: (-3) × (-4) = 12
2. To multiply two integers with different signs, ignore the signs, multiply the absolute values, and the result will be negative.
Example: (-2) × 5 = -10
These rules hold true whether you are multiplying two integers, or multiplying an integer by itself.
Now let's move on to the rules for dividing integers.
Rules for Dividing Integers:
1. To divide two integers with the same signs, ignore the signs, divide the absolute values, and the result will be positive.
Example: (-12) ÷ (-4) = 3
2. To divide two integers with different signs, ignore the signs, divide the absolute values, and the result will be negative.
Example: (-15) ÷ 3 = -5
It's important to note that division by zero is undefined in mathematics.
These rules apply to integer division, and can be applied when you have a division operation involving positive or negative integers.
I hope this explanation helps clarify how to multiply and divide integers!
