RULES FOR MULTIPLYING TWO RATIONAL NUMBERS

If the signs of the factors are the same, the product is positive.

If the signs of the factors are different, the product is negative.

(+) • (+) = (+) (–) • (–) = (+)

(+) • (–) = (–) (–) • (+) = (–)

A number and its reciprocal have a product of 1. To find the reciprocal of a fraction, exchange the numerator and the denominator. Remember that an integer can be written as a fraction with a denominator of 1.

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. They undo each other.

Notice that multiplying by the reciprocal gives the same result as dividing.
