explain how you can determine the sign of an integer quotient without dividing



Answer :

Because of the properties of division, we know that a positive number divided by a positive number will be a positive number
[tex] \frac{1}{1} = 1[/tex]

Likewise, a negative number divided by a negative number will be a positive number
[tex] \frac{-1}{-1} = 1[/tex]

But a positive number divided by a negative number, or vice versa will be a negative number.
[tex] \frac{-1}{1} = \frac{1}{-1} = -1[/tex]
