Find the product or quotient $-33(-3)$

When two or more numbers are multiplied together, it gives a number. The numbers that are being multiplied are called the factors. And the result of the multiplication of numbers is called the product of those numbers.

For example, 30 is the product of 6 and 5 (the result of multiplication), and is the product of indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together.

$30=6·5$(The two factors are 6 and 5)

$26=2·13$(The two factors are 2 and 13)

RULE 1: The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative.

RULE 2: The product of two positive integers is positive.

RULE 3: The product of two negative integers is positive.

Rule: The product of two negative integers is positive.

Here the first factor 33 is negative and the second factor 3 is negative.

According to the rule, the product is positive.$-33(-3)=+99$

The product of$-33\text{\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}and\hspace{0.17em}\hspace{0.17em}}(-3)$ is.$+99$
