Operations of Integers
Operations of Integers
Addition of Integers
- Adding two positive integers results in positive integers, whereas adding
two negative integers will result in the sum with a negative sign. But, the
addition of two different signed integers will result in subtraction only and
the sign of the result will be the same as the larger number has.
Subtraction of Integers
- Subtracting integers is the process of finding the difference between two
integers. It may result in an increase or a decrease in value, depending on
whether the integers are positive or negative or a mix. The subtraction of
integers is an arithmetic operation performed on integers with the same
sign or with different signs to find the difference.
Multiplication of Integers
- The product of two integers with similar sign numbers will always be
positive. This means the product of two positive numbers or two negative
numbers will always be positive. While the product of a positive number
and a negative number (integers with different signs) will always be
negative.
Division of Integers
- If multiplication is totaling of numbers, division is the distribution of
numbers. Dividing integers is opposite operation of multiplication. But the
rules for division of integers are same as multiplication rules.Though, it is
not always necessary that the quotient will always be an integer.
Series of Operations
- The order of operations are the rules that tell us the sequence in which we
should solve an expression with multiple operations.
PEMDAS
- PEMDAS is an acronym for the words parenthesis, exponents,
multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Given two or more operations
in a single expression, the order of the letters in PEMDAS tells you what to
calculate first, second, third and so on, until the calculation is complete.
