A Calculator with Adding and Nurtures in Negative Integers

This calculator helps you add and subtract negative integers with clear, step-by-step guidance. Whether you're working with temperature scales, financial transactions, or scientific measurements, understanding how to handle negative numbers is essential.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter the first and second negative integers in the input fields. The calculator will automatically perform the addition or subtraction based on your selection. The result will be displayed in the result panel below the calculator.

Note: Negative integers are whole numbers less than zero, such as -5, -10, or -100.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas for addition and subtraction of negative integers:

Addition: a + b = a + b

Subtraction: a - b = a + (-b)

For example, to calculate -5 + (-3), the calculator adds the two negative numbers directly: -5 + (-3) = -8.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Adding Negative Integers

Let's add -7 and -4:

-7 + (-4) = -11

Explanation: When you add two negative numbers, you combine their absolute values and keep the negative sign.

Example 2: Subtracting Negative Integers

Let's calculate -10 - (-3):

-10 - (-3) = -10 + 3 = -7

Explanation: Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart.
