Pretend both the numbers are positive, find the quotient as normal and then make it negative.
To find the quotient of two numbers when one is positive and the other is negative, divide the absolute values of the numbers as you normally would. The result will be negative since the quotient of a positive and a negative number is always negative. For example, if you divide 10 (positive) by -2 (negative), the quotient is -5.
The answer is the normal quotient except negative. Pos X neg = neg
A quotient is the answer to a multiplication problem. Therefore, just multiply the two numbers.
Positive numbers, on your door. Negative in your freezer.
A negative. If you have a string of positive and negative numbers multiplied together, all you need to find the sign of the answer is to find the parity of the negative numbers. If there are an odd number of negatives then the answer is negative and if there are an even number of negatives then the answer is positive. Remember, positive numbers make no difference to the sign of the answer.

If the divisor and the dividend are positive then the quotient will be positive too.
same way except it is a negative quotient.
The sign of a quotient is when you are multiplying and dividing numbers. This can take a good bit of thinking when try to find the answers. But one you get done you can check your answer by knowing whether it is negative or positive.
Relax. It's not that bad. -- Forget about the negatives for a moment, and just divide 3.4 by 8.5 . -- Then say to yourself "When two numbers have the same sign, their quotient is positive."

The same as with positive numbers. You need at least two numbers to find a GCF.
Negative times negative equals positive. Positive times positive equals positive. Positive times negative equals negative. If you have more than two numbers, multiply the first two and then apply these rules to each successive number in turn.
Numbers are positive unless they have a minus sign (-) in front of them, in which case they are negative. As for the sum of positive and negative numbers, just add them up and find out. Add the positive, subtract the negative. It's very logical.
