Most of the examples and exercises in these lessons deal with only two terms at a time. However, you don't have to advance much further in your study of mathematics until you encounter situation where you must multiply and divide strings of three or more signed integers. For instance:

(+ 4) x (+  5) x (+ 12) x (+ 6) = _____

(+ 12) x (– 10) ÷  (– 8) = _____

(+ 72) ÷ (+ 16) x (– 2) = _____

(+ 17) x (+ 24) ÷ (– 1) x (+ 6) = _____
