Multiplying Integers Practice

Introduction to multiplying integers practice:

Multiplying integers practice  is one of the important topics in mathematics. A multiplying is of the mathematical operation of scaling a number by another number. It is the basic operations in elementary arithmetic. Integer is the set of numbers in which positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers and zero. It has a complete unit or entity. But it has a no fractional part.

Positive whole number = {1, 2, 3, 4, …..}

Negative whole number = {-1, -2, -3, -4, …..}

Example for integers:

25, 1897, -665, 0, etc.,


Rules for multiplying integers practice:


Different rules for multiplying integers practice are,

Rule 1:

Positive number × Positive number = Positive number

Rule 2:

Positive number × - Negative number = - Negative number

Rule 3:

- Negative number × Positive number = - Negative number

Rule 4:

- Negative number × - Negative number = Positive number

Example problems for rules for multiplying integers practice:

Using rule 1:

12 × 12 = 144

Using rule 2:

15 × - 8 = - 120

Using rule 3:

-10 × 5 = - 50

Using rule 4:

- 14 × - 20 = 280


Example problems for multiplying integers practice:


Example 1:

Multiply the two integer numbers

12 × 3

Solution:

Given

12 × 3

Both are two positive integers so, the result is also a positive numbers

Here we add 12 into 3 times, then we get

12 + 12 + 12

36

It is the simplest method of multiplying integers.

Example 2:

15 × 10

Solution :

Given

15 × - 10

In the given integer numbers, positive and negative numbers so result of this given integer is also a negative numbers.

If we multiply by 10, we have add to zero to the result

- 150

Solution to the given two integer is - 150.

Example 3:

- 8 × - 7

Solution:

Given

- 8 × - 7

Both are negative numbers so the result is also a negative numbers

If we multiply the - 8 by -7 we get

56

Solution to the given integers is 56.
