Best Answer

When you divide a negative number by a positive number or a positive number by a negative number, the division is done the same way as when both numbers are positive, and the quotient is negative. When dividing a negative number by a negative number, divide as usual, and the quotient is positive.

+ ÷ + = +

+ ÷ - = -

- ÷ + = -

- ÷ - = +

+ x + = +

+ x - = -

- x + = -

- x - = +
