Question

Find the product. $$(-13)(-2)(-2)\left(-\frac{2}{13}\right)$$

Short answer

The product is -8.

Step-by-step solution

Multiply the integers

Begin by multiplying the integers \( -13 \), \( -2 \), and \( -2 \): \[ (-13)(-2)(-2) = 52 \]. Here, the product of three negative numbers is negative.

Multiply with the fraction

Now, multiply this result by the fraction \( -\frac{2}{13} \): \[ 52(-\frac{2}{13}) = -8 \]. Here, the product of a positive number and a negative number is negative. This concludes the solution.
