# Multiplication of Numbers with Different Signs 1. **Multiplying two numbers with different signs:** - A negative multiplied by a positive equals a negative. - A positive multiplied by a negative equals a negative. *Example:* (-4) × 3 = -12 -0.35 × -6 = 2.1 2. **Multiplying two numbers with the same sign:** - A negative multiplied by a negative equals a positive. - A positive multiplied by a positive equals a positive. *Example:* (-0.2) × (-1.5) = 0.3 2/3 × (-3/5) = -2/5 3. **Multiplying more than two numbers:** - If the number of negative factors is even, the product will be positive. *Example:* (-8) × (-3) × (-2) × (-0.5) = 24 4. **Multiplying more than two numbers:** - If the number of negative factors is odd,the product will be negative. *Example:* -2 × -3 × -7= -42 a × 0 = 0, where a is a rational number.
