Negative
When a negative integer is divided by a positive integer, the resulting quotient will always be negative. This is because the division of a negative number by a positive number follows the rule that a negative divided by a positive yields a negative result. For example, dividing -10 by 2 results in -5.
When dividing a negative integer by a positive integer, the result is negative. For example, (-6 \div 2 = -3). Conversely, when dividing a positive integer by a negative integer, the result is also negative, such as (6 \div -2 = -3). In both cases, the rule is that the quotient takes the sign of the numerator when it is negative.
The answer is always positive. If the signs are the same (positive by positive, negative by negative), then the quotient is always positive. If the signs are different (positive by negative, negative by positive), then the quotient is always negative.
When they are added together and the absolute value of the positive integer is bigger than the absolute value of the negative integer or when the negative integer is subtracted from the positive integer.
The quotient must be negative.
Negative
the quotient of an integer and its opposite is never negative.
* The quotient of two positive integers or two negative integers is positive. * The quotient of a positive integer and a negetive integer is negetive.
Quotient positive: Both integers have the same sign: both positive or both negative. Quotient zero: The first integer is 0. Quotient negative: The integers have opposite signs: one positive and one negative.
The quotient of a positive integer by a negative is always negative. Say this to yourself a couple times: "MULTIPLICATION: minus times minus is plus (negative x negative = positive).....minus times plus is minus (negative x positive = negative).....plus times plus is plus (positive x positive = positive) DIVISION: minus divi minus is plus (negative ÷ negative = positive)......minus divi plus is minus (negative ÷ positive = negative).....plus divi plus is plus (positive ÷ positive = positive)"
a negative integer
When dividing a negative integer by a positive integer, the result is negative. For example, (-6 \div 2 = -3). Conversely, when dividing a positive integer by a negative integer, the result is also negative, such as (6 \div -2 = -3). In both cases, the rule is that the quotient takes the sign of the numerator when it is negative.
positive
When the quotient of two integers is positive, either both integers are positive or both negative. When the quotient of two integers is negative, one of the integers is positive and one negative. When the quotient of two integers is zero, the first integer is zero and the second one is anything but zero.
Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
The answer is always positive. If the signs are the same (positive by positive, negative by negative), then the quotient is always positive. If the signs are different (positive by negative, negative by positive), then the quotient is always negative.
