The rules for division are exactly the same as the rules for multiplication.
* Division (or multiplication) of a positive number by a positive number = positive
* Division of a positive number by a negative number = negative
* Division of a negative number by a positive number = negative
* Division of a negative number by a negative number = positive
If you have trouble remembering any of these, just try out a sample division on any calculator - for instance, if you divide (-1) / (-1) you get +1.
