Multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number. This can be understood as reversing the direction twice on the number line.
Understanding Negative Number Multiplication
When you multiply two negative numbers, the result is always a positive number. This is a fundamental rule in mathematics. Think of negative numbers as movements in the opposite direction. Multiplying by a negative number can be seen as reversing the direction. So, multiplying two negatives reverses the direction twice, bringing you back to the positive side. For example, (-2) multiplied by (-3) is equivalent to reversing the direction of movement of -2 three times, which lands you at +6. This tool helps you quickly calculate and understand this concept.
