If you have two negatives they cancel each other out and make a positive. The same if you have to positives the product will be positive. If you have a negative and a positive you multiply the numbers and bring down the negative. Same if you have a positive and a negative. Only two negatives cancel each other out, same with positives. For example - 4 (-5) (-1) you would use order of operations, 4 and the 5 cancel each other out and you multiply 20 by - 1 which is - 20 since you bring down the negative.

If the integers have two different signs, the answer will be negative. If they have the same signs, the answer is positive. And a example being: - 5 (3) = - 15. - 5 (-6) = 30 8 (7) = 56.
