The document provides 4 rules for determining the sign of factors when factoring expressions: 1) If both the top and bottom numbers are positive, the factors are positive. 2) If the top is positive and bottom negative, the factors are negative. 3) If the top is negative and bottom positive, the larger factor is positive. 4) If both numbers are negative, the larger factor is negative.

bottom number is positive, then the 2 numbers
you are trying to find are positive. 2. If the top number is positive and the bottom number is negative, then the two numbers you are trying to find are negative. 3. If the top number is negative and the bottom number is positive, then the bigger number out of the two is positive. 4. If the top number is negative and the bottom number is negative, then the bigger out of the two is negative.
