to make this easy count how many negative"-" signs you have in the multiplication problem. Odd amount(1,3,5,7,9...) will always give u a negative number and and even amount (2,4,6,8...)will always give u a possitive number.
so from the problem there are 4 negative signs so you know the answer will be possitive.
so then u can rewrite the problem as
now simply multiply in order

so 560 is the answer
