Still remember the "Rules of Multiplying Signed Numbers"? Actually it consist of two types, the first type involves multiplying numbers with like signs and the other one involves multiplying numbers with unlike signs?
LIKE SIGNS
Rules:
1.) When both factors to be multiplied are positive, the sign of the product is positive.
Example:
567 x 7634 = 4,328,478
567 x 7634 = 4,328,478
We don't need to put the positive sign because numbers with no sign are already considered as positive numbers.
2.) When both factors to be multiplied are negative, the sign of the product is still positive.
Example:
(-142) x (-120) = 17,040. Therefore: When we are multiplying numbers with like signs, their products are always POSITIVE.
UNLIKE SIGNS
Rules:
1.) Positive multiplicand multiplied by a negative multiplier will result to a negative product.
Example:
(132) x (-13) = -1,716
2.) Negative multiplicand multiplied by a positive multiplier will still result to a negative product.
Example:
(-121) x (165) = -19,965
Remember:
Multiplying numbers with like signs will result to a positive product while multiplying numbers with unlike signs will result to a negative product.
Anyway, the reason why I made this post is not to let you reminisce what you have ascertained in your Math subject way back in your elementary days because I know, this topic is so E.A.S.Y. Right?...Shame on you then, if you are educated then you don't know this.
Nevertheless, the topic about "Rules of Multiplying Signed Numbers" somehow made me realize something. And I want to share this to all of you:
Simple but TRUE!

Hahahaha! Antaray! :)) HAHAHAHAHA!
May corelation ang quote mong yan sa AND GATE! Muahahahahahahahaha! :P
0*0 = 0
1*0 = 0
0*1 = 0
1*1 = 1
OHA! :P
Jhiegzh | On: June 7, 2010 at 5:32 PM
corelation?
So you mean 0 is negative and 1 is positive pero negative times negative is positive! Woaaah!...
Cheska Garcia | On: June 7, 2010 at 5:40 PM
Yeah! I think naalala ko pa po yan :P!

It's good to remember this rule of signed numbers. Thanks for the share!
JHEN | On: June 7, 2010 at 7:16 PM
nice to aah. math. i love math. haha :))) weh, nice ung sa huli. tama tlga yan.
Charm | On: June 7, 2010 at 7:49 PM
Lupet. :)) Very well said.
Superjaid | On: June 7, 2010 at 8:01 PM
love the last part..hehehe pwedeng pwedeng iapply sa daily life..^_^
Biopolymath | On: June 7, 2010 at 9:29 PM
A good insight! It's a simple rule that I remember until now. That's on multiplication. When you add or subtract numbers with signs the rule is similar - just a reminder too you readers!
But there's a saying "two wrong doesn't make a right". Again it's context.

wow..a very simple rule in math! :DD and it also relates to our life after all! i truly agree on the last part.. :)
Jhiegzh | On: June 7, 2010 at 9:52 PM
@Cheskaa: Xempre basic yan eh! ^^
@David: YOu are welcome!
@Jhen: Hehehe..Thanks for appreciation!
@Charm: Naks, thank you! ^^
@Superjaid: Woaaah..Thanks tlga!
@Boon: Yeah indeed!

i love the quote on the last part of your blog...;)

Kung maka-relate naman tong simpleng algebra na to sa buhay. ;))) Ang ibig sabihin ba niyan, ang hindi makaintindi sa simpleng math na yan e laging nagkakamali rin sa buhay? Echos. ;))
Sendo | On: June 8, 2010 at 7:25 AM
hindi talaga ako bagay sa math..pero naenjoy ako sa trigo nung fourth year...kahit ang hirap..galing kasi ng teacher..may premyo pa pag nakasagot sa problem haha..
Jhiegzh | On: June 8, 2010 at 7:36 AM
@Xian: Thanks!
@Keiyt: Hahaha! Chos naman!
@Sendo: Naks! ^^ Masarap tlga kung may premyo!
master | On: June 8, 2010 at 10:30 PM
eto lang masasabi ko br0! bulls eye!
Jhiegzh | On: June 8, 2010 at 10:46 PM
@Master: Wow thanks ^^
aryan | On: June 10, 2010 at 3:07 AM
haha. ibig sabihin na din ba, the wrong thing at the wrong time is right?
Jhiegzh | On: June 10, 2010 at 3:15 AM
@Aryan: I just pointed one sign there! Not all are applicable but somehow the sign I have mentioned is somehow I can relate in reality..For you, what you have mentioned above? is it right? YOu can answer that with your own ^^
