To divide negative numbers, you divide the corresponding positive numbers. Then:
- If one number is positive and one is negative, you add a minus sign to the result. For example, 8 / (-2) = (-8) / 2 = -4.
- If both numbers are negative, the result is positive.
- (-8) / (-2) = 4.
- -18/6 = -3
- -8/-4 = 2
- 35/-5 = -7
