That depends on the specific situation. If you are solving an equation, and you divide one side by a certain number, you need to divide the other side by the same number.

How do you divide negative mixed number?
The first stage in dividing by a negative mixed number would be to convert that number into a top-heavy or vulgar fraction. Once this has been done, you ignore the negative sign for the time being, and multiply the number by the denominator. After this, you divide by the numerator. Finally, you swap the sign of the number you started with. If you were dividing a negative number the answer is positive. If you were dividing a positive number the answer is negative.
What is the number that you are dividing into?

Why is the answer less when dividing fractions?
Assuming you mean "the result is less than the first number", this isn't always true: * The answer will indeed be LESS than the first number, if you divide by a number that is GREATER THAN one. * On the other hand, the answer will be GREATER than the first number, if you divide by a number that is LESS THAN one. For example, if you divide 6 by 2, you get 3, which is less than 6. On the other hand, if you divide 6 by 1/2, you get 12, which is more than 6.

What is the value of x when multiplying a number by x yields the same result by dividing a number by 0.125?
The question first needs to be rewritten as an equation. This can be done as follows: nx = n/0.125 where n is any number. The first step is to divide both sides by n, to give us x=1/0.125 This can then be calculated at x=8 Thus the value of x when multiplying a number by x yields the same result as dividing that number by 0.125 is 8.
