Hi there!
Twelve is not equal to negative four.
So we know that all of the factors of twelve is 1,2,3,4,6, and 12 itself...
None of these are actually -4 since -4 doesn’t equal to 12.
Think about this... when your trying to multiply or add...

If you keep on multiplying or adding it, it’ll always stay the same...
So like always, twelve isn’t equailvalent to -4.
