Integer Rules

Integers include whole numbers and their opposites. Addition and subtraction of integers follow rules based on the signs of the numbers. For addition, numbers with the same sign are added by adding the absolute values and keeping the sign, while numbers with different signs are subtracted by taking the difference of the absolute values and keeping the sign of the larger number. For subtraction, the problem is converted to addition by changing the subtraction sign to addition and changing the sign of the second number. Multiplication and division also follow rules where the product or quotient is positive if the numbers have the same sign, and negative if the numbers have different signs.
