Rule 3: Subtracting a negative number from a negative number – a minus sign followed by a negative sign, turns the two signs into a plus sign. So, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive. Basically, - (-4) becomes +4, and then you add the numbers. For example, say we have the problem -2 - –4.

Multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers. The rule for multiplying and dividing is very similar to the rule for adding and subtracting. When the signs are different the answer is negative. When the signs are the same the answer is positive.

Integers. The letter (Z) is the symbol used to represent integers. An integer can be 0, a positive number to infinity, or a negative number to negative infinity.

Integers are all the whole numbers, both positive and negative. By whole numbers we mean numbers without fractions or decimals. You can also call positive integers your 'counting numbers' because they are the same. ... On a number line, positive integers are all the numbers to the right of the zero.

['number for numbers of any kind: integer or floating-point, integers are limited by ±253.', 'bigint is for integer numbers of arbitrary length.', 'string for strings. ... ', 'boolean for true / false .', 'null for unknown values – a standalone type that has a single value null .']

An integer is a whole number that can be either greater than 0, called positive, or less than 0, called negative. Zero is neither positive nor negative. ... Every number on the number line also has an absolute value, which simply means how far that number is from zero.

The absolute value of any number is the number itself without any negative signs. Opposite integers are the negative and positive versions of a number together.

The set of integers is represented by the letter Z. An integer is any number in the infinite set, ... Integers are sometimes split into 3 subsets, Z+, Z- and 0. Z+ is the set of all positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...), while Z- is the set of all negative integers (..., -3, -2, -1).

Rule 4: Subtracting a negative number from a positive number—when you see the subtraction (minus) sign followed by a negative sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of subtracting a negative, you're adding a positive, so you have a simple addition problem.
364683
The difference between two positive integers can be either positive, negative or zero. ... The difference between a positive and a negative integer can be positive or negative. When you subtract a negative integer from a positive integer, the difference is always positive.

To get a negative number, you need one negative and one positive number. The rule works the same way when you have more than two numbers to multiply or divide. An even number of negative numbers will give a positive answer. An odd number of negative numbers will give a negative answer.

Two negatives make a positive, so a negative number times a negative number makes a positive number. If you look at it on the number line, walking backwards while facing in the negative direction, you move in the positive direction. For example. -2 x -4 are both negative, so we know the answer is going to be positive.

Positive numbers are any numbers greater than zero, for example: 1, 2.9, 3.14159, 40000, and 0.0005. ... Negative numbers are less than zero (see the number line for a more complete explanation of this). Similarly, the opposite of any negative number is a positive number. For example, the opposite of -12.3 is 12.3.
