While multiplying a negative and another negative integer, the product's will be positive. While multiplying a positive and another positive integer, the product will be positive. It means that of the integers have same sign, then their product's sign will be positive. But, if the integers have different signs, i.e., one of them is positive and the other is negative, then the product will have negative sign.

While dividing a negative from another negative integer, the quotient will be positive. While dividing a positive from another positive integer, the quotient will be positive. It means that of the integers have same sign, then their quotient's sign will be positive. But, if the integers have different signs, i.e., one of them is positive and the other is negative, then the quotient will have negative sign.
