Multiplication and Division of Positive and Negative Integers, including Fractions Multiplication and division of Integers Sign of the Operation Sign of the Number Number Page 1 Result Sign of the Number A Positive Positive Multiplied Positive or Divided Equals Number Positive Multiplied Negative or Divided Equals Number Negative Multiplied Positive or Divided Equals Number A Negative A Negative Negative Multiplied Negative or Divided A Positive Equals Number Multiply fractions: numerator * numerator and denominator * denominator Multiplication Fractions 3*3=9 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9 3 * -3 = -9 1/3 * -1/3 = -1/9 -3 * 3 = -9 -1/3 * 1/3 = -1/9 -3 * -3 = 9 -1/3 * -1/3 = 1/9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Remember the rules for dividing fractions. We change the division sign to multiplication and use the inverse of the second fraction. You can remember this as “Keep – Change – Flip” Keep the first fraction as it is, Change the division sign to multiplication, and Flip the second fraction over Division Fractions 9/3=3 1/3 1/3 = 1/3 * 3/1 = 3 9 / -3 = -3 1/3 -1/3 = 1/3 * -3/1 = -3 -9 / 3 = -3 -1/3 1/3 = -1/3 * 3/1 = -3 -9 / -3 =3 -1/3 -1/3 = -1/3 * -3/1 = 3 Multiplication and Division of Positive and Negative Integers, including Fractions The rules for Multiplying Fractions are as follows: Change any mixed numbers to improper fractions. Cancel any factors common to both the numerator and denominator. Multiply the remaining terms in the numerator and in the denominator. Write the answer either as an proper fraction or as a mixed number as appropriate Here is an example: First we change it to an improper fraction, which gives us. 8 3 12 5 Can we can reduce this fraction? Yes, 3 is a common factor to both the numerator and denominator. We rewrite the fraction as: 8 1 4 5 Now multiply the numerators 8*4 and denominators and 1*5 32 5 The result is an improper fraction and we can simplify it into a mixed number. The rules for Dividing Fractions are as follows: Change mixed numbers into improper fractions. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Follow the rules for multiplication. Here is an example: Again, we simplify the mixed number into an improper fraction 8 3 4 3 Now we will follow the rule and change the division sign to multiplication and invert (or flip) the second fraction. 8 3 3 4 Reduce the fraction before you multiply by dividing by or cancelling common factors. Cancel the 3’s and 4 is a common factor 2 1 1 1 Now multiply the numerators 2*1 and denominators and 1*1 2 1 Is your final answer and it can be reduced to 2 Page 2 Multiplication and Division of Positive and Negative Integers, including Fractions Page 3 A Quick Review of Multiplying Decimals: 1. Multiply the numbers just as if they were whole numbers: Line up the numbers on the right--do not align the decimal points. Starting on the right, multiply each digit in the top number by each digit in the bottom number, just as with whole numbers. Add the products. 2. Place the decimal point in the answer by starting at the right and moving the point the number of places equal to the sum of the decimal places in both numbers multiplied. Example 37.7 x 2.8 = ? ---> 37.7 x 2.8 3016 +754 105.56 ( 1 decimal place ) ( 1 decimal place ) ( 2 decimal places, move point 2 places left ) A Quick Review of Dividing Decimals Dividing decimals is almost the same as dividing whole numbers, except you use the position of the decimal point in the dividend to determine the decimal places in the result. To divide decimal numbers: 1. If the divisor is not a whole number: Move the decimal point in the divisor all the way to the right (to make it a whole number). Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places. 2. Divide as usual. If the divisor doesn't go into the dividend evenly, add zeroes to the 3. 4. right of the last digit in the dividend and keep dividing until it comes out evenly or a repeating pattern shows up. Position the decimal point in the result directly above the decimal point in the dividend. Check your answer: Use the calculator and multiply the quotient by the divisor. Does it equal the dividend? Find this quotient: First show the division like this: Multiplication and Division of Positive and Negative Integers, including Fractions Page 4 Now move the decimal point one place to the right, which makes the divisor a whole number. Also move the decimal point in the dividend one place to the right: Divide as whole numbers. 65 goes into 169 two times with 39 left over: To continue dividing, add a zero to the right of the decimal point in the dividend. Then bring down the zero, and add it to the end of 39, making it 390 65 goes into 390 six times. We write a 6 above the zero in the quotient and put the decimal point just above the decimal point in the dividend: Definitions from this Lesson: Reciprocal: The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by interchanging the numerator and the denominator. This is also called inverting the fraction, and we’ll use the term ‘flip’ in class. Improper Fraction: If the numerator is greater than the denominator, then the fraction is called an improper fraction. 25 11 Are examples of an improper fraction. 13 9 Mixed Number: A mixed number has a whole number followed by a fraction.
