What are Positive and Negative Numbers?

Numbers that are greater than zero are called positive numbers and numbers that are less than zero are called negative numbers. Therefore, to distinguish between them, the sign (+) is used for positive numbers and (-) for negative numbers. For positive numbers, usually the sign is not written. Meanwhile, the sign (-) must be given to negative numbers.

The easiest way to visualize positive and negative numbers is to use a number line. The number line is a horizontal line consisting of negative numbers and positive numbers. Zero is written in the middle of the number line. With a number line, the calculation of positive and negative numbers will also be easier.

The calculation of positive and negative numbers includes various arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Therefore, let's discuss positive and negative numbers: the basic rules and why it is useful for real life.

 

What are the Basic Rules of Positive and Negative Numbers?

Understanding the basic rules of positive and negative numbers is important because these two types of numbers are often used in everyday life. In general, the basic rules for positive and negative numbers are as follows.

  • The value of a positive number is greater than zero. This number has a positive sign. However, it is usually written without a sign. An example is +4 written as 4.
  • Meanwhile, the value of a negative number is less than zero. The sign for negative numbers is (-) and the sign must be written in front of the number. Examples are -2 and -3.
  • Zero is not a positive number or a negative number.
  • The sum of positive numbers and negative numbers with the same value is zero. An example is 2-2 = 0.
  • Operations on negative numbers are easier to do with parentheses. Examples are 2-(-3) or 3+(-5).
  • A number line can make calculating positive and negative numbers easier.
  • There are specific rules for adding, multiplying, subtracting, and dividing positive and negative numbers.

 

Here are the rules for arithmetic operations on positive and negative numbers.

  • Adding positive or negative numbers with the same sign results in a number with the same sign. Examples are (-2) + (-3) = -5 or 3 + 2 = 5.
  • Subtraction of positive and negative numbers is done by subtracting a large number from a small number. Then, the sign is obtained from a large number. An example is (-5) + 3 = -2.
  • Multiplication between two positive numbers gives a positive value and multiplication between two negative numbers gives a negative value.
  • If a positive number is multiplied by a negative number, the result is negative.
  • Multiplying any positive or negative number by zero will result in a zero answer.

 

Why are Positive and Negative Numbers Useful for Real Life?
