The product has no sign.

To determine the sign of the product \( 1732 \times (-110) \), we can use the rules of multiplication signs:

  • A positive number multiplied by a negative number results in a negative product.

Since \( 1732 \) is positive and \( -110 \) is negative, the product \( 1732 \times (-110) \) will be negative.

Therefore, the answer is:

negative
