MULTIPLYING AND DIVIDING INTEGERS

To multiply integers, just multiply.  When the signs are different, the answer is negative.  When the signs are the same, the answer is positive.  We will look at how this rule is developed and applied to multiplication of integers.

Since division is the inverse operation of multiplication, the same rules apply for giving a sign to an answer.  To divide integers, just divide.  When the signs are different, the answer is negative.  When the signs are the same, the answer is positive.  We will look at writing related division statements for multiplication statements, how the rule for division is developed, and then apply the rule for division of integers.
