How do you divide a negative number by a positive number?

Answer 1

The same way that you divide two positive numbers. Just remember at the end that the result is negative.

Answer 2

Divide it normally and the result(quotient) is negative.

e.g. 4/(-2) = -2.

Answer 3

You carry out the division ignoring the sign and then, since the numerator and denominator have different signs, you put a minus sign in front of the quotient.
