In order to divide negative integer by positive integer, we simply divide them as we do in case of whole number and put minus (-) sign before the quotient.
In other words, when a negative integer is divided by a positive integer, the quotient will always be a negative integer.
Try following example to understand further:-
Example 1 = Divide (-15) by 3
Answer =
As per the given condition, we get
= (-15) / 3
Now divide 15 by 3 and we get
= 5
And add minus (-) sign to the quotient and we get;
= (-5)
Example 2 = Divide (-90) by 9
Answer =
As per the given condition, we get
= (-90) / 9
Now divide 90 by 9 and we get
= 10
And add minus (-) sign to the quotient and we get;
= (-10)
