    1. An odd number of the factors were negative

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If we have 4 numbers, for example 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 and an odd number of them were negative so we could have two outcomes: - 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 and - 2 x - 2 x - 2 x 2 each in the end would get - 16. Now - 16 multiplied by - 2 gets 32 which is positive.
