Learning Module No. 3
INTRODUCTION
In this lesson, you will learn how to add integers using two different methods. The number line model is practical for
small integers. For larger integers, the signed tiles model provides a more useful tool. Also, you will learn how to subtract
integers by reversing the process of addition, and by converting subtraction to addition using the negative of the
subtrahend. To multiply integers, first find the product of their positive equivalents. If the integers have the same signs,
their product is positive. If the integers have different signs their product is negative. Division is the reverse operation of
multiplication. Using this definition, it is easy to see that the quotient of two integers with the same signs is a positive
integer and the quotient of two integers having unlike signs is a negative integer.

CONTENT
We can add integers by following same rules to do away from the use of a number line.
When adding two positive integers or two negative integers, or if the addends have like signs, simply add their
absolute values and prefix the common sign to the sum.
To find the sum of two integers with unlike signs, find the difference of their absolute values and prefix the sum
with the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
To subtract integers, use the definition of subtraction as follows: a – b = a + (-b)
The Definition shows that we add the minuend and the opposite of the subtrahend. The sign of the minuend
remains the same.
The sum of two positive numbers is positive and the sum of two negative numbers is negative.
To get the sum of two numbers with different signs, find the difference of their absolute values, prefix the sign of
the addend with the greater absolute value to the sum.
To get the difference of two numbers, use a – b = a + (-b).
In solving for the product and quotient of integers, we follow the same rules in multiplication and division of whole
number, but this time, we determine the sign of the product or quotient.
Rules on Multiplication and division of integers:
Like Signs
(+) x (+) = (+) (+) ÷ (+) = (+)
(-) x (-) = (+) (-) ÷ (-) = (+)
Unlike Signs
(+) x (-) = (-) (+) ÷ (-) = (-)
(-) x (+) = (-) (-) ÷ (+) = (-)
