Integer Operations and Sign Rules

When adding integers: - If signs are the same, add the numbers and use that sign. - If signs are different, subtract the numbers and use the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. When subtracting integers, use "Same Flip Flip then SADS": - Keep the first number's sign if signs are the same - Change the minus to plus if signs are different - Change the second number's sign - Then apply the adding integers rules. For multiplication and division of integers, the answer is positive if the signs are the same and negative if the signs are different.

Adding Integers

When adding integers use SADS. If the signs are the


same, add the numbers and take the sign of the
largest absolute value. If the signs are different,
subtract the numbers and use the sign of the
number with the largest absolute value. (Cover the
signs to find the largest absolute value.)
Example:
Same Sign
1) 3 + 4 = 7
2) (-3) + (-4) = -7

Same sign
Add
Different sign
Subtract

Example:
Different Signs
3) (-2) + (5) = 3
4) (7) + (-9) = -2

Subtracting Integers
When subtracting integers use Same Flip Flip
then SADS.
Same- keep the sign of the first number
Flip- change the minus to plus
Flip change the sign of the second number
Then
Same sign
Add
Different sign
Subtract

Examples
Subtracting Integers
1) -3 1
= -3 + (-1)
= -4

3) -1 (-8)
= -1 + 8
=7

2) 5- (-2)
=5+2
=7

4) 4-1
=3

Multiplying Integers
If the signs are the same your answer will
be POSITIVE!
If the signs are different your answer will be
NEGATIVE!
Examples:
1) 3 3 = 9
2) (-3) (-3) = 9

Examples:
3) 3 (-3) = -9
4) (-3) (3) = -9

Dividing Integers
If the signs are the same your answer will
be POSITIVE!
If the signs are different your answer will be
NEGATIVE!

Examples:
1) 25 5= 5
2) (-25) (-5) = 5

Examples:
3) -25 5 = -5
4) 25 (-5) = -5
