Question

i don’t know how to divide integers and i have a test tomorrow based on adding subtracting multiplication and division on integers. can someone please help me

Answer 1

In order to divide integers, the first thing to check is the sign:

- When dividing two positive integers, the result will be a positive integer.

- When dividing two negative integers, the result will be a positive integer.

- When dividing integers with different signs (one negative and one positive), the result will be a negative integer.

Then, after checking the sign, we need to calculate the value of the division.

Some examples of divisions are:

$\frac{24}{8},\frac{-15}{5},\frac{-100}{-10}$

In the first division, the result is 3, because we have that 8 * 3 is equal 24.

Also, both numbers are positive, so the result is also a positive number.

In the second division, the result is -3, because 5 * (-3) is equal -15.

The result is negative, because the two numbers have different signs.

In the third division, the result is 10, because -10 * 10 is equal -100.

The result is positive, because both numbers are negative.
