Section 1.5 Multiplying Integers

The multiplication rules for integers are determined from a pattern of products.Consider the following problems:2 • 3 =2 • 2 = The pattern decreases 2 • 1 = by two with each row.2 • 0 = 2 • (-1) = The product of a 2 • (-2) = positive number and a 2 • (-3) = negative number is

negative.

Section 1.5 Multiplying Integers

Now start the pattern with a negative integer.

-2 • 3 = The pattern increases -2 • 2 = by two with each row.-2 • 1 = -2 • 0 = The product of a -2 • (-1) = negative number and a -2 • (-2) = negative number is -2 • (-3) = positive.

PROCEDURE Multiplying Signed Numbers

1. The product of two numbers with the same sign is positive.

Examples: (5)(6) = 30(-5)(-6) = 30

2. The product of two numbers with different signs is negative.Examples: 4(-8) = -32

-4(8) = -323. The product of any number and zero is zero.

Examples: 5(0) = 00(-7) = 0

5 Multiplying Many Factors

(-2)(-2) (-2)(-2)(-2) (-2)(-2)(-2)(-2)= 4 = 4(-2) = 4(-2)(-2)

= -8 = -8(-2) = 16

These products indicate the following rules:

•The product of an even number of negative factors is positive•The product of an odd number of negative factors is negative

DEFINITION Division of Integers

The sign rules for dividing integers are the same as the sign rules for multiplying integers, because we can check our division answers by multiplying.

24 ÷ 6 = 4 Check: 4 6 = 24∙-24 ÷ 6 = -4 Check: -4 6 = -24 ∙ 24 ÷ (-6) = -4 Check: -4 (-6) = 24∙-24 ÷ (-6) = 4 Check: 4 (-6) = -24 ∙

PROCEDURE Dividing Signed Numbers

1. The quotient of two numbers with the same sign is positive.

2. The quotient of two numbers with different signs is negative.

3. Zero divided by any nonzero number is zero.

4. Any nonzero number divided by zero is undefined.
