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.
