Question

Find the additive inverse of $256$.

Answer 1

Find the additive inverse

The additive inverse of a number is a numeric value which when added to the given number gives a resultant value of zero.

We are given the number $256$.

To make the resultant value zero, we will add $-256$ to it, such that $256+(-256)=0$

Therefore, the additive inverse of $256$ is $-256$.
