Multiplication and addition of negative numbers

When multiplying and dividing negative numbers, remember that multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive result, while multiplying a negative and a positive number results in a negative outcome. For example, (−1) × (−2) × (−3) = −6, while −12 / -4 = 3 . However, (−5) × 6 = −30 , and −4 / 2 = −2. These examples help reinforce the rules for handling negative numbers in multiplication and division.
