Activity No. 5 Multiplication and Division of Integers

The document discusses multiplication and division of integers. It defines multiplication as repeated addition and division as the inverse of multiplication. It provides examples of multiplying and dividing positive and negative integers. The key rules are that the product or quotient is positive if the numbers have the same sign, and negative if they have different signs. When multiplying or dividing multiple integers, the result is positive if there is an even number of negatives, and negative if there is an odd number of negatives. Exercises are provided to practice multiplying and dividing integers.

Type of Activity : Concept Notes
Activity Title : MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF INTEGERS
Learning Competency : The learner performs fundamental operations on integers. (M7NS-Ic-d-1)
Learning Target : To multiply and divide integers
Reference : Grade 7 Math Lesson 4.3

We learned that with whole numbers, multiplication is a repeated addition. For example, 4x3
means three groups of 4. Or putting it into real context, 3 cars with 4 passengers each, how many
passengers in all? Thus, 4 x 3 = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
We extend this definition to multiplication of a negative integer by a positive integer. Consider the
situation when a boy loses ₱6 for 3 consecutive days. His total loss for three days is (-6) x3. Hence, we
could have (-6) x 3= (-6) + (-6) + (-6) = -18. One number multiplied by another is called a product.
On the other hand, division is the inverse operation of multiplication. It’s defined as multiplication
by a reciprocal. One number divided by another is called a quotient.
In multiplying and dividing integers, the same rules are followed in terms of the sign of the
product or quotient.
EXAMPLES:
MULTIPLICATION DIVISION
2x3=6 8÷4=2
(–2) x (–3) = 6 (–8) ÷ (–4) = 2
(–2) x 3 = –6 (–8) ÷ 4 = –2
2 x (–3) =– 6 8÷ (–4) = –2
Rules in Multiplying/Dividing Integers:
1. If the integers have the same sign, their product/quotient is positive.
2. If the integers have different signs, their product/quotient is negative.
In multiplying/dividing series of integers:
1. The product/quotient is positive if the number of negative integers is even.
2. The product/quotient is negative if the number of negative integers is odd.
EXAMPLES:
Multiply (2)( –3)( –1)(4)( –5) = -120; the sign of the product is negative since there is an odd
number of factors.
Divide (–10 ÷ 2) ÷ (–5) = 1; the sign of the quotient is positive since there is an even number of
negative integers.
EXERCISES:
A. Find the product of the following.

1. (5)(12) 4. (-8)(4)
2. (-10)(-6) 5. (-5)(3)(2)
3. (9)(-7) 6. (-7)(4)(-2)(5)(-6)
B. Find the quotient of the following.

1. 72 (-6) 4. 18 (-6)
2. 20 5 5. (-72) (-8)
3. (-252) 7 6. (-56) (-8)
