Problem:
Mrs. Jenson owes $8,000 on her car loan. Each of her 4 children is willing to pay an equal share of this loan. Using integers, determine how much money each of her children will pay.
Solution:
Owing $8,000 can be represented by -8,000. We must divide -8,000 by 4 in order to solve this problem. However, we need rules for dividing integers in order to continue.
Rule 1:
The quotient of a positive integer and a negative integer is a negative integer.
Rule 2:
The quotient of two negative integers or two positive integers is a positive integer.
We can now use Rule 1 to solve the problem above arithmetically: -8,000 ÷ +4 = -2,000. Each of Mrs. Jenson's four children will pay $2,000. Let's look at some more examples of dividing integers using the above rules.
