A factor is a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression. A positive factor is a factor that is positive as opposed to being negative.

When is the product of two nonzero integers less than or equal to both of the two factors?

If the numbers have to be positive, at least one of the two factor must be 1. In that case the product will be greater than or equal to 1 and equal to the other factor.If the numbers can be negative, in addition to the first case, any product of a positive and a negative integer will be less than or equal to both of the two factors. The product is negative so it's automatically less than the positive factor. If the positive factor is 1, the product is equal to the negative factor; if the positive factor is > 1 the product is less than the negative factor. E.g.1 * -14 = -14 which is equal to -14 and less than 1-3 * 5 = -15, which is less than both 5 and -3


Is the product of two integers positive negative or zero How can you tell?

The product of two integers will be: * Zero, if one factor, or both, are zero. * Positive, if both factors have the same sign (both positive, or both negative) * Negative, if the two factors have different signs. Actually, these rules apply to all real numbers, not just to integers.
