  • A negative number is the number that is less than zero. 5 - 8 = -3.

If the person or the company has negative net worth, this means that the money ay owe to others is more than the money and other things ay have or are going to get.

  • Some people also use negative the same way as "no", or other related words. "Not", "Never", "Nowhere" etc. are all negative words. On two-way radios the work "negative" is used instead of "no" to be clearer (see: affirmative).
