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.

Why does dividing by a number less than zero make the original number bigger?

Dividing by a negative number reverses the sign of the quotient. For instance, if you divide a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative, which is smaller than the original positive number. Conversely, dividing a negative number by a negative number yields a positive result, which is larger than the original negative number. Hence, the operation effectively increases the value of the original number when the divisor is negative.
