Pretend both the numbers are positive, find the quotient as normal and then make it negative.
The answer is the normal quotient except negative. Pos X neg = neg
You need two numbers to find a quotient.
Just ignore the signs, and go ahead and multiply or divide your numbers.Then, when you finish multiplying or dividing . . .-- If the two original numbers had the same sign, then the answer is positive.-- If the two original numbers had different signs, then the answer is negative.Easy, eh ?
Find the product of their absolute values (without regard for their signs) and then label the product positive. The process is exactly the same if both numbers are negative.
