For multiplying and dividing the rules are same. If both numbers are positive then the answer will be positive, if both numbers are negative then the answer will again be positive. If one number is positive and one is negative then the answer will be negative.

#+ + = +#
#- - = +#
#+ - = -#
#- + = -#
