Operations of integers will include the basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction,

multiplication and division). In Maths, integers are the numbers that include all the positive
numbers, negative numbers and zero, excluding fractions.

Whether it is the addition or subtraction of two integers, begin with the first number. Locate
the first number on the number line. The first number lets us know where to begin. The
second number lets know the direction of movement. If it is a positive number, move to the
right side by that many units and if it is a negative number, move to the left side of the first
number by that many units.

Addition of Integers

Positive numbers: When we add two positive numbers, the result will always be a positive
number. Hence, on adding positive numbers, the direction of the move will always be to the
right side.

For example, addition of 1 and 5 (1 + 5 = 6)

Here the first number is 1, and the second number is 5; both are positive. First, locate 1 on a
number line. Then moving 5 places to the right will give 6.

Negative numbers: When we add two negative numbers, the result will always be a
negative number. Hence, on adding negative numbers, the direction of the move will always
be to the left side.

For example, the addition of -2 and -3

Here the first number is -2, and the second number is -3; both are negative. Locate -2 on a
number line. Then moving 3 places to the left will give -5.

Subtraction of Integers
Positive numbers: When we subtract two positive numbers, move to the left as far as the
value of the second number.

For example, subtract 5 from 2

Here the first number is 2, and the second number is 5; both are positive. First, locate 2 on a
number line. Then moving 5 places to the left will give -3.

Negative numbers: When we subtract two negative numbers, move to the right as far as
the value of the second number.

For example, subtract -4 from -2

First, locate -2 on a number line. Then moving 4 places to the right will give 2.

Multiplication of Integers

When two integers are multiplied then the product is an integer only. The rules of
multiplication of integers are as follows:

 Product of two positive integers is positive (Eg. 2 × 3 = 6)


 Product of two negative integers is negative (Eg. -3 × -4 = 12)
 Product of a positive and a negative integer is negative (Eg. -3 × 5 = -15)
To sum up, we have:

(+ve) × (+ve) (+ve)

(-ve) × (-ve) (+ve)

(-ve) × (+ve) (-ve)

(+ve) × (-ve) (-ve)

Division of Integers

When one integer is divided by another integer then the product is either an integer or a
fraction. The rules of division of integers are as follows:

 Division of two positive integers results in a positive value (Eg. 9 ÷ 3 = 3)


 Division of two negative integers results in a negative value (Eg. -4 ÷ -2 = 2)
 Division of a positive and a negative integer or vice-versa results in a negative value
(Eg. -10 ÷ 5 = -2)
To sum up with the rules, we have:

(+ve) ÷ (+ve) (+ve)

(-ve) ÷ (-ve) (+ve)

(-ve) ÷ (+ve) (-ve)

(+ve) ÷ (-ve) (-ve)

Rules of Operation With Integers

The rules of operations on integers are listed below:

 Addition of two integers with the same sign will result in the sum of integers with the
same sign.
 Addition of two integers with different signs will result in the difference of integers with
the sign of greater value
 Subtraction of integers will follow similar rules as an addition. One important rule is the
sign of integer, which is subtracted from other integers, changed and added to the
other integer.
 Multiplication and division of two same-sign integers will result in a positive value
 Multiplication and division of two different sign integers will result in a negative value
