DeMYSTiFieD / algebra DeMYSTiFieD / HuttenMuller / 000-0 / Chapter 4• Perform multiplication and division with negative numbers. Momentarily
disregarding the negative sign(s), find the product or quotient of the num-
bers. The sign of the product is positive if there are an even number of
negative factors and negative if there are an odd number of negative fac-
tors. The same holds true for quotients.
