Question

What is the sign of the product $-437\times 562?$

• A. Positive
• B. Negative

Answer 1

The correct option is B Negative

The product $-437\times 562$ can be written as $-(437\times 562)$.

Now, as both the numbers $437$ and $562$ are positive, the sign to the product $(437\times 562)$ is also positive.

And, to find the sign of the product $-(437\times 562),$ we attach a negative sign to the postive value of the product $(437\times 562)$.

Hence, the sign of $-437\times 562=-(437\times 562)$ is negative, i.e., option (b.) is the correct one.
