What is the product of (-4) (7) and why?

28 because you are removing 4 times, the number 7

-28 because you are removing 4 times, the number 7

28 because you are removing 7 times, the number 4

-28 because you are removing 7 times, the number 4

The product of (-4) (7) is - 28 because you are removing 4 times, the number 7

.

Reason is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number which is written first in the multiplication or the product is always multiplied by the second number.

For example

3 * 2 implies three times two which equal to 6

2 * 3 implies two times three which is also equal to 6

Therefore the number written in the first is count as times, the number second.

For example

-3 * 2 implies three times two which equal to - 6

Here the product is negative 6

Because if a negative number is multiplied by positive number you will always get the product as negative number.

If a positive numbers multiplied by positive number you will always get the product as a positive number.

For example

3 * 2 implies three times two which equal to 6

If a positive numbers multiplied by negative number you will always get the perfect as a negative number.

For example

3 * - 2 implies three times two which equal to - 6

If a negative number is multiplied by negative number you will always get the product as a positive number.

For example

-3 * - 2 implies three times two which equal to 6

Therefore, the product of (-4) (7) is - 28 because you are removing 4 times, the number 7
