Multiplication Operation of Integers
Multiplication is a repeated addition operation that can be performed on integers. The product of two integers is the result of adding one integer a certain number of times, as specified by the other integer. The rules for multiplying integers are as follows:
- A positive integer if multiplied by a positive integer will only give another positive integer.
- When two negative integers are multiplied, the product obtained is that of a positive integer.
- Multiplying a positive integer with a negative integer yields a negative integer.
Examples:
3 × 5 = 15 (positive × positive = positive)
-3 × -5 = 15 (negative × negative = positive)
3 × -5 = -15 (positive × negative = negative)
Operations of Integers
Operations with integers involve performing calculations with positive and negative whole numbers. Gaining an insight into these operations is very important for solving many mathematics problems and practical applications.
This article will focus on operations of integers starting from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and illustrate through the use of a number line.
