Solving Negative Number

Definition:

Negative number is defined as the number which indicate by negative sign or minus ('-') . Negative number is less then zero and placed left to zero.

Ex: ...-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4...

Comparison of Positive and Negative:

For each negative number , there is a positive number that is its opposite . Here we can write the opposite of negative number with a positive of same number or plus sign used In front of the number and call these numbers are positive numbers. Ex : 1,2,3 ,.....positive numbers are grater than zero. Similarly, the opposite of any positive number is a negative number .

Ex:    1,2,3 is -1,-2,-3.

Solving examples for negative numbers:

Zero cannot be taken as a negative number or positive number.
For every positive number x, there exists a negative number y such that x + y = 0
Positive number is denoted as plus ('+')sign and negative number is denoted as minus sign('-').
Example of negative number:-2,-43,-34 and example for positive number is 2,43,34.
negative and positive number may be written as mixed numbers or fraction numbers.

The equal fraction of negative numbers are given bellow:

(-3)/7,3/(-7),-(3/7) and -3/7 .

The equal mixed numbers are given bellow.

-2/5,-(2/5)       (-4)/9, 4/-(9) and -4/9

Solving Addition of Negative Numbers:

To add the negative numbers which consist of minus sign. To provide the answer of addition of negative number.

Solving examples for addition negative numbers:

-12+(-6)=?

Solution:

-12+(-6)= -18.

Here the values of  -12 and -6are 12 and 6 adding the smaller from the larger gives -12+(-6)= -18, and since the larger  value was 12, so we can give result the same sign as -12, '-' so -12+(-6)= -18.

Example:

(-6) + (-6) = ?

Here the absolute values of -6 and -6 are 6 and 6.  Adding the smaller from the larger gives -6 - 6 = 12 ,  but here both has same value . In this case sign is the matter, here 12 and -12 are the not same and then -6 and -6 are same numbers. The property of all same number sum is 12. The addition of two number up to zero are called as additive inverses.

Multiplying Negative Numbers:

Solving example for multiplying negative numbers :

Product of negative number ,here we can take the product of their values.

(-3.3) × (-5) = ?


(-3.3) × (-5) = (-3.3) × (-5)

= (-3.3) × (-5)

=  +16.5.
Dividing Negative Numbers

Solving example for dividing negative number:

To divide two negative numbers, here we can divide the value of the first by the value of the second.

(-1.6) ÷ (-4) = (-1.6) ÷ (-4)

= (-1.6) ÷ (-4)

=  -0.4
