Problem

Multiplication of integers:
\$ 8 times (- 3) times (- 2) \$

2

Step

The integers are

\$ 8,(- 3) and (- 2) \$

3

Formula

Here we apply the two rules of Multiplication:

\$ ( - ) times ( - ) = ( + ) \$

\$ ( + ) times ( + ) = ( + ) \$

4

Step

Let us multiply both positive and negative integers

\$ 8 times (- 3) times (- 2) \$

5

Step

Again multiply both the integers

\$ 8 times (+ 6)\$

6

Step

After multiplication we get

\$ 48 \$

7

Solution

Therefore, the multiplication of integers is \$ 48\$.
