Normally. :)
There is a rule, however:
If you divide a negative number by a positive number, the result is negative.
i.e. -6/2 = -3
If you divide a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive.
i.e. -6/-2 = 3
Good luck with your homework!!!

Divide the numbers normally.
Two positives = a positive answer.
Two negatives = a positive answer.
One positive and one negative = a negative answer.
20/4 = 5
-20/-5 = -4
20/-4 = -5
-20/5 = 4
Hope this helps. Good Luck.

dividing negative numbers is the same as dividing positive numbers. Just remember if you divide two negative numbers it becomes positive. Ex. -10/-2=5

you would divide like you normally would but if you have two negative numbers and you divide them then they become a positive # but if one is + and the other is - then they become a negative #

when you divide two negatives like -9/-3 you get positive 3
when you divide one negative: 9/-3 you get a negative -3

It depends on the question. I will give some examples:
-33/-11 = 3
-33/11 = -3
33/-11 = -3

i think of the clearest thank you to work out it is to ingredient each quantity as -a million circumstances a favorable quantity. case in point: -6 / -3 = (-a million * 6) / (-a million * 3) needless to say, the -1s cancel out of the final and backside, leaving you with 2 useful numbers.
