Explanation:

We have been given product of two numbers
(-247,634)(183,758). We are asked to determine the sign of our given product without multiplying it.

We can see that one of our given numbers is a negative number and second number is a positive number.

We know that the product of a negative number and a positive number is always negative, therefore, product of our given numbers would be negative.
