To divide negative numbers, you divide the corresponding positive numbers. Then:

  • If one number is positive and one is negative, you add a minus sign to the result. For example, 8 / (-2) = (-8) / 2 = -4.
  • If both numbers are negative, the result is positive.
For example:
  • (-8) / (-2) = 4.
  • -18/6 = -3
  • -8/-4 = 2
  • 35/-5 = -7
