If the numerator is negative and the denominator is positive then the fraction will be negative. If the numerator is negative and the denominator is negative too then the fraction will be positive.
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
The number would have to be negative. It really is the same as a positive numerator and denominator, just put a negative if the denominator is negative. Its like this15 divided by 3 is 515 divided by -3 would be -5so it asks what if the numerator was negative how many times would 3 go into it and the answer is -5.(+)/(-)=(-)(-)/(+)=(-)(+)/(+)=(+)(-)/(-)=(-)same applies to addition and subtration and multiplication.hope this helps.
The fraction gets smaller or increases, depending on whether the numerator and denominator are positive or negative.
Since the denominator of the fraction is 1, no denominator is needed. Therefore, -4/1 = -4.
