Understanding Sign Determination

In mathematics, the sign of a number indicates whether it is positive, negative, or zero. This concept is fundamental in arithmetic and algebra.

Positive Numbers: Numbers greater than zero. They are typically written without a sign, but can be preceded by a plus sign (+).
Negative Numbers: Numbers less than zero. They are always preceded by a minus sign (-).
Zero: Neither positive nor negative. It is the additive identity.

Determining the sign of a number is crucial for various mathematical operations and comparisons. This tool helps you quickly identify the sign of any number you input, aiding in calculations and problem-solving.
