Answer: [tex]-\frac{1242}{1}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, negative numbers, positive numbers and zero are Integers.
It is important to remember the multiplication of signs:
[tex](-)(-)=+\\(+)(+)=+\\(-)(+)=-[/tex]
You can observe that you must multiply two integers, one of them is negative and the other one is positive. The product will be an integer. Then:
[tex](-23)(54)=-1242[/tex]
Since any Integer can be written as a fraction, you can rewrite the product by writing [tex]-1242[/tex] as the numerator and [tex]1[/tex] as the denominator.
Then, this is:
[tex]=-\frac{1242}{1}[/tex]
