A divisor is another name for a factor. All counting numbers have divisors. In the equation 3 x 4 = 12, 3 and 4 are divisors of 12. -3 x -4 also equals 12, so some people distinguish between positive and negative divisors. A positive divisor is a divisor that is a positive number.

What is the quotient of two negative numbers or two positive numbers?
If the dividend and divisor have the same sign, then the quotient is positive. If their signs are different, then the quotient is negative.
In standard form what are the composite numbers?
A composite number is a positive integer that has a positive divisor other than one or itself. In other words a composite number is any positive integer greater than one that is not a prime number.
Can composite numbers be negative?
A composite number is defined as a "positive integer with a positive divisor other than one and itself". So therefore, while negative numbers can have factors in the same way as positive numbers, none is considered prime.
What is the greatest common divisor of 2233 and 25193?
The greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers is the largest positive integer that divides both numbers without a remainder. To find the GCD of 2233 and 25193, you can use the Euclidean algorithm. By repeatedly applying the algorithm, you will find that the GCD of 2233 and 25193 is 59.
