You carry out the division ignoring the negative sign and then re-insert the negative sign. It does not matter which of the two numbers is negative. But if they are both negative, then the answer is positive.
-2/3 = -2/3
2/-3 = -2/3
-2/-3 = 2/3
Unless the fraction is negative, the fraction is
no no no that is not what they were asking you would divide a whole number by a fraction by putting the whole number over one making it an improper fraction then divide those as you would regular fractions ........ hope it helped :)
If you multiply or divide the numbers, the answer will be negative.
Divide as you would divide positive fractions. That is, convert both fractions to positive, then do the division. After that, apply the rules for dividing positive and negative numbers. For example, if one of the fractions is positive and the other negative, the answer will be negative.
Multiply them by a number less than 1. Divide them by a number greater than 1. Add a negative number. Subtract a positive number. Any of the above will do. One could also reduce the font when printing the fraction.
Divide like normal. When dividing, if one number is negative and the other number is positive, the answer is negative. So the answer would be negative. For example, -24/8 = -3.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
When you divide one number by another which is not a factor.
divide top number by bottom number
The quotient is less than the fraction.
Any whole number can be written over 1. To divide a fraction by a whole number, multiply that fraction by one over the whole number. 2/3 divided by 4 = 2/3 x 1/4
Because if you divide out the fraction you get a number bigger than one. (Definition of an improper fraction).
