Yes, when a positive is divided by a negative, it is negative. ex: 4/-2 would equal -2. It takes two negatives to make a positive in math when you are multiplying or dividing.

The best way to figure this out would be to use an example. So suppose you had a -20 and divided that by a positive 5. That would give you a -4. Take that -4 and divide it by a -2 which would give you a positive 2 (knowing that two negative numbers cancel out to make a positive number). Thus a negative divided by a positive divided by a negative would give you a positive number.
negative 2
Nope... -2 divided by -2 is equal to 1

A negative divided by a positive is negative. An example is -2/6= -3

A negative times a positive is always negative. Similarly, a positive divided by a negative is negative.

A number to a negative power is equal to One divided by number to its positive power. So, x^-2 is equal to 1/x2.
A Negative plus a positive = a negative because negative and a positive cannot work together Negative + Negative= Positive Positive + Positive = Positive when your dealing with numbers such as : -2 + 2 would equal a negative 4 -2 +-2 would equal a positive 4

The answer is 2. However, if you did 256 divided by positive 32 divided by positive 4, you would get the same answer. Just as a negative times a negative equals a positive, so does a negative divided by a negative.
A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4
