Rules for dividing positive and negative numbers. Division of negative numbers: rule and examples. The rule for dividing numbers with different signs

Objective 1. The point moves in a straight line from left to right at a speed of 4 dm. per second and is currently passing through point A. Where will the moving point be after 5 seconds?

It is easy to figure out that the point will be at 20 inches. to the right of A. Let us write the solution of this problem in relative numbers. To do this, we will agree in the following indications:

1) the speed to the right will be denoted by a + sign, and to the left by a - sign, 2) the distance of a moving point from A to the right will be denoted by a + sign and to the left by a - sign, 3) the time interval after the present moment by a + sign and up to the present moment by a - sign. In our problem, the following numbers are given: speed = + 4 dm. per second, time = + 5 seconds and it turned out, as they figured out arithmetically, the number + 20 dm., expressing the distance of the moving point from A in 5 seconds. According to the meaning of the problem, we see that it refers to multiplication. Therefore, it is convenient to write the solution to the problem:

(+ 4) ∙ (+ 5) = + 20.

Objective 2. The point moves in a straight line from left to right at a speed of 4 dm. per second and is currently passing through point A. Where was this point 5 seconds ago?

The answer is clear: the point was to the left of A at a distance of 20 dm.

The solution is convenient, according to the conditions regarding the signs, and, bearing in mind that the meaning of the problem has not changed, it can be written as follows:

(+ 4) ∙ (– 5) = – 20.

Objective 3. The point moves in a straight line from right to left at a speed of 4 dm. per second and is currently passing through point A. Where will the moving point be after 5 seconds?

The answer is clear: 20 dm. to the left of A. Therefore, according to the same conditions regarding the signs, we can write the solution to this problem as follows:

(– 4) ∙ (+ 5) = – 20.

Task 4. The point moves in a straight line from right to left at a speed of 4 dm. per second and is currently passing through point A. Where was the moving point 5 seconds ago?

The answer is clear: at a distance of 20 inches. to the right of A. Therefore, the solution to this problem should be written as follows:

(– 4) ∙ (– 5) = + 20.

The problems considered indicate how to extend the action of multiplication to relative numbers. We have in problems 4 cases of multiplication of numbers with all possible combinations of signs:

1) (+ 4) ∙ (+ 5) = + 20;
2) (+ 4) ∙ (– 5) = – 20;
3) (– 4) ∙ (+ 5) = – 20;
4) (– 4) ∙ (– 5) = + 20.

In all four cases, the absolute values ​​of these numbers should be multiplied, the product has to be given a + sign when the factors have the same signs (1st and 4th cases) and the sign - when the multipliers have different signs(cases 2 and 3).

From here we see that the product does not change from the permutation of the multiplier and the multiplier.

Exercises.

Let's perform one example for a calculation, which includes addition and subtraction and multiplication.

In order not to confuse the order of actions, let us pay attention to the formula

The sum of the products of two pairs of numbers is written here: therefore, you must first multiply the number a by the number b, then multiply the number c by the number d and then add the resulting products. Also in the formula

you must first multiply the number b by c and then subtract the resulting product from a.

If it were required to add the product of numbers a and b to c and multiply the resulting sum by d, then one would write: (ab + c) d (compare with the formula ab + cd).

If it was necessary to multiply the difference between the numbers a and b by c, then they would write (a - b) c (compare with the formula a - bc).

Therefore, we will establish in general that if the order of actions is not indicated by brackets, then we must first perform multiplication, and then addition or subtraction.

Let's start calculating our expression: we first execute the additions written inside all the small brackets, we get:

Now we need to perform the multiplication inside the square brackets and then subtract the resulting product from:

Now let's perform the actions inside the twisted brackets: first multiplication and then subtraction:

Now all that remains is to perform multiplication and subtraction:

16. Product of several factors. Let it be required to find

(–5) ∙ (+4) ∙ (–2) ∙ (–3) ∙ (+7) ∙ (–1) ∙ (+5).

Here the first number must be multiplied by the second, the resulting product by the third, etc. It is not difficult to establish on the basis of the previous one that the absolute values ​​of all numbers must be multiplied with each other.

If all the factors were positive, then on the basis of the previous one we find that the product must also have a + sign. If any one factor were negative

eg (+2) ∙ (+3) ∙ (+4) ∙ (–1) ∙ (+5) ∙ (+6),

then the product of all the factors preceding it would give a + sign (in our example, (+2) ∙ (+3) ∙ (+4) = +24, from multiplying the resulting product by a negative number (in our example +24 multiplied by –1) would get the sign of the new product -; multiplying it by the next positive factor (in our example –24 by +5), we get again a negative number; since all other factors are assumed to be positive, the sign of the product can no longer change.

If there were two negative factors, then, arguing as above, they would find that at first, until he reached the first negative factor, the product would be positive, from multiplying it by the first negative factor, the new product would turn out to be negative and so it would be and remained until we reach the second negative factor; then from multiplying a negative number by a negative, the new product would turn out to be positive, which will remain so in the future if the other factors are positive.

If there were still a third negative factor, then the product obtained positively from multiplying it by this third negative factor would become negative; it would remain so if the other factors were all positive. But if there is still a fourth negative factor, then multiplying by it will make the product positive. Arguing in the same way, we find that in general:

To find out the sign of the product of several factors, you need to see how many of these factors are negative: if there are none at all, or if their number is even, then the product is positive: if there are negative factors odd number, then the product is negative.

So now we can easily find out that

(–5) ∙ (+4) ∙ (–2) ∙ (–3) ∙ (+7) ∙ (–1) ∙ (+5) = +4200.

(+3) ∙ (–2) ∙ (+7) ∙ (+3) ∙ (–5) ∙ (–1) = –630.

Now it is easy to see that the sign of the work, as well as its absolute value, do not depend on the order of the factors.

Convenient when dealing with fractional numbers, find a work immediately:

This is convenient because you do not have to do useless multiplications, since the previously obtained fractional expression is reduced as much as possible.


This article focuses on division of negative numbers... First, a rule for dividing a negative number by a negative is given, its justification is given, and after that examples of dividing negative numbers with detailed description solutions.

The rule for dividing negative numbers

Before giving the rule for dividing negative numbers, let us recall the meaning of the action of division. Division in essence represents finding an unknown factor by famous work and a known other factor. That is, the number c is the quotient of dividing a by b when c b = a, and vice versa, if c b = a, then a: b = c.

The rule for dividing negative numbers the following: the quotient of dividing one negative number by another is equal to the quotient of dividing the numerator by the modulus of the denominator.

Let's write down the voiced rule using letters. If a and b are negative numbers, then the equality a: b = | a |: | b | .

The equality a: b = a b −1 is easy to prove, starting from multiplication properties real numbers and definitions of reciprocal numbers. Indeed, on this basis, we can write down a chain of equalities of the form (a b −1) b = a (b −1 b) = a 1 = a, which, by virtue of the meaning of division mentioned at the beginning of the article, proves that a · b −1 is the quotient of the division of a by b.

And this rule allows you to go from dividing negative numbers to multiplication.

It remains to consider the application of the considered rules for dividing negative numbers when solving examples.

Examples of dividing negative numbers

Let's analyze examples of dividing negative numbers... Let's start with simple cases where we work out the division rule.

Example.

Divide the negative number −18 by the negative number −3, then calculate the quotient (−5): (- 2).

Solution.

According to the rule of dividing negative numbers, the quotient of dividing −18 by −3 is equal to the quotient of dividing the absolute values ​​of these numbers. Since | −18 | = 18 and | −3 | = 3, then (−18):(−3)=|−18|:|−3|=18:3 , it remains only to perform the division of natural numbers, we have 18: 3 = 6.

Similarly, we solve the second part of the task. Since | −5 | = 5 and | −2 | = 2, then (−5):(−2)=|−5|:|−2|=5:2 ... This quotient corresponds to the ordinary fraction 5/2, which can be written as a mixed number.

The same results are obtained if you use a different rule for dividing negative numbers. Indeed, the number −3 is inversely the number, then , now we perform multiplication of negative numbers: ... Similarly,.

Answer:

(−18): (- 3) = 6 and .

When dividing fractional rational numbers it is most convenient to work with ordinary fractions... But, if convenient, then you can divide the final decimal fractions.

Example.

Divide −0.004 by −0.25.

Solution.

The moduli of the dividend and the divisor are 0.004 and 0.25, respectively, then, according to the rule for dividing negative numbers, we have (−0,004):(−0,25)=0,004:0,25 .

  • or perform division of decimal fractions with a column,
  • either go from decimal fractions to ordinary, and then divide the corresponding ordinary fractions.

Let's take a look at both approaches.

To divide 0.004 by 0.25 in a column, first move the comma 2 digits to the right, thus we come to dividing 0.4 by 25. Now we do long division:

So 0.004: 0.25 = 0.016.

Now let's show what the solution would look like if we decided to convert decimal fractions to ordinary ones. Because and then , and execute

Now let's deal with multiplication and division.

Let's say we want to multiply +3 by -4. How to do it?

Let's consider this case. Three people are in debt, and each has $ 4 in debt. What is the total debt? In order to find it, you need to add up all three debts: $ 4 + $ 4 + $ 4 = $ 12. We decided that the addition of three numbers 4 is denoted as 3 × 4. Since we are talking about debt in this case, there is a "-" in front of 4. We know that the total debt is $ 12, so our problem now looks like 3x (-4) = - 12.

We will get the same result if, according to the problem statement, each of the four people has a debt of $ 3. In other words, (+4) x (-3) = - 12. And since the order of the factors does not matter, we get (-4) x (+3) = - 12 and (+4) x (-3) = - 12.

Let's summarize the results. When you multiply one positive and one negative number, the result will always be negative. The numerical value of the answer will be the same as in the case of positive numbers. Product (+4) x (+3) = + 12. The presence of the "-" sign affects only the sign, but does not affect the numerical value.

How do you multiply two negative numbers?

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to come up with a suitable example from life on this topic. It is easy to imagine a debt of $ 3 or $ 4, but it is completely impossible to imagine a -4 or -3 person going into debt.

Perhaps we will go the other way. In multiplication, when the sign of one of the factors changes, the sign of the product changes. If we change the signs of both factors, we must change twice work mark, first from positive to negative, and then vice versa, from negative to positive, that is, the product will have an initial sign.

Therefore, it is quite logical, although a little strange, that (-3) x (-4) = + 12.

Position of the sign when multiplied, changes like this:

  • positive number x positive number = positive number;
  • negative number x positive number = negative number;
  • positive number x negative number = negative number;
  • negative number x negative number = positive number.

In other words, multiplying two numbers with the same sign, we get a positive number. Multiplying two numbers with different signs, we get a negative number.

The same rule is true for the action opposite to multiplication - for.

You can easily verify this by holding inverse multiplication operations... If in each of the examples above, you multiply the quotient by the divisor, you get the dividend, and make sure it has the same sign, for example (-3) x (-4) = (+ 12).

Since winter is coming, it’s time to think about what to change the shoes of your iron horse, so as not to slide on the ice and feel confident on winter roads. You can, for example, take Yokohama tires on the site: mvo.ru or some others, the main thing is that it is of high quality, you can find out more information and prices on the Mvo.ru website.
