Question

What is the quotient of -42 and 7?

Answer 1

When dividing a negative by a positive, the answer will be negative. So like how 42/7 is 6, -42/7 is -6

Answer 2

When you find the quotient of two numbers it means you're dividing them. So, you can solve this by dividing -42 by 7.
Seven will go into forty-two 6 times, but whenever you divide a negative number by a positive number, the answer will also be negative. So, the quotient of -42 and 7 is -6.
