Archimedes (287-212 B.C)  -->  - 287  birth year

Pythagoras (569-500 BC) --->  - 569  birth year

569 - 287 = 282 as years apart of their birth years

The years apart that they were born is 282

How to express their years as a negative number?

Archimedes' birth year

We have the year range to be:

(287-212 B.C)

In the above years, the year of birth is:

287

As a negative number, we have;

-(-287)

Hence, Archimedes'birth as a negative number is -(-287)

Pythagoras' birth year

We have the year range to be:

(569-500 BC).

In the above years, the year of birth is:

569

As a negative number, we have;

-(-569)

Hence, Pythagoras 'birth as a negative number is -(-287)

The years apart that they were born

This is the difference between their birth years.

So, we have:

Years = -(-569) - -(-287)

Evaluate

Years = 282

Hence, the years apart that they were born is 282
