This advanced calculator handles operations with negative numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It provides clear results and explanations for each operation.
Introduction
Negative numbers are essential in many mathematical and real-world applications. This calculator helps you perform advanced operations with negative numbers accurately and understand the results.
Negative numbers are numbers less than zero, represented with a minus sign (-). They are used to indicate values below a reference point, such as temperatures below freezing, financial debts, or positions below sea level.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter the first number, select the operation, and enter the second number. Click "Calculate" to see the result. The calculator will show the formula used and explain the result.
Note: Division by zero is not allowed and will show an error message.
Operations with Negative Numbers
Addition
When adding two negative numbers, you add their absolute values and keep the negative sign.
a + b = -(|a| + |b|)
Subtraction
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its absolute value.
a - (-b) = a + b
Multiplication
Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive result.
(-a) × (-b) = a × b
Division
Dividing two negative numbers gives a positive result.
(-a) ÷ (-b) = a ÷ b
Worked Examples
Example 1: Addition
Calculate -5 + (-3)
-5 + (-3) = -(5 + 3) = -8
Example 2: Subtraction
Calculate -7 - (-4)
-7 - (-4) = -7 + 4 = -3
Example 3: Multiplication
Calculate -6 × (-2)
-6 × (-2) = 6 × 2 = 12
Example 4: Division
Calculate -10 ÷ (-2)
-10 ÷ (-2) = 10 ÷ 2 = 5
