7th Grade Multiplying and Dividing Integers Worksheets
Free and printable, with a full answer key. Every worksheet is generated fresh, so you can hand a different version to every student.
Multiplying and dividing positive and negative whole numbers. Every problem has at least one negative, so the work is in getting the sign right.
Or start with a ready-made version:
What's on the worksheet
- Multiplying integers
Problems such as −7 × 6 and −8 × (−4), with numbers up to 12.
- Dividing integers
Problems such as −56 ÷ 8 and 42 ÷ (−7). Every one divides evenly.
- Mixed practice
Multiplying and dividing together.
- Three factors
Products such as −2 × 3 × (−5), where the number of negatives decides the sign.
How it works: a quick refresher
For the adult at the table. These are the rules the worksheet practices, followed by one problem worked from start to finish.
| Strategy | How it works |
|---|---|
| Same signs: positive | −8 × (−4) = 32, and −32 ÷ (−4) = 8. |
| Different signs: negative | −7 × 6 = −42, and 42 ÷ (−7) = −6. |
| Count the negatives | With several factors, an even number of negatives gives a positive answer and an odd number gives a negative. |
| Size first, then sign | Work out the answer as if both numbers were positive, then apply the sign rule. |
Worked example
Find −2 × 3 × (−5).
- Multiply the sizes: 2 × 3 × 5 = 30.
- Count the negatives: there are two, an even number.
- An even number of negatives makes the answer positive.
- −2 × 3 × (−5) = 30.

Common questions
- Is there an answer key?
- Yes. Every worksheet has a matching answer key with each answer worked on the same grid or layout as the question. The worksheet ID printed at the bottom of each page pairs a sheet with its key.
- Why is a negative times a negative positive?
- One way to see it: multiplying by −1 flips a number to the other side of zero. Doing that twice brings it back to the positive side.
- Do the division problems have remainders?
- No. Every division problem comes out to a whole number.
- How many different versions are there?
- About a million per skill. Each time you press the button the problems are generated fresh, so you can print a different version for every student, a retake, or another night of practice.
- Are the worksheets free?
- Yes. They are free to print and copy for your home or classroom, with no sign-up.
