Zero divided by anything (except itself) is zero.
Negative one times negative twelve equals positive twelve. This is because multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number. Therefore, -1 × -12 = 12.
There is no such thing as a positive or a negative zero. A negative divided by a positive is a negative, and a positive divided by a negative is a negative. If you have a negative and a positive, the answer will be a negative. But if you have two negatives or two positives as the dividend and divisor, the answer will be a positive. In other words, dividing two positives or two negatives will always give you a positive. But dividing a positive and a negative will always give you a negative.
