Division of Integers

Rules on How to Divide Integers are:

  • Step 1: Divide their absolute values.
  • Step 2: Determine the sign of the final answer (known as a quotient) using the following conditions.
  • Condition 1: If the signs of the two numbers are the same, the quotient is always a positive number.
  • This illustration shows the rules of dividing integers with the same sign. For the first case, a positive integer divided by another positive integer is always positive. On the other hand, a negative integer divided by another negative integer is always positive. Simply put, the quotient of two integers with the same sign will always yield a positive integer solution.

  • Condition 2: If the signs of the two numbers are different, the quotient is always a negative number.
  • This diagram shows the rules that govern when we divide two integers with different signs. The first case implies that a positive integer divided by a negative integer results to an answer of an integer with a negative sign. Likewise, a negative integer divided by a positive integer outputs an integer with a negative sign as well. In summary, the quotient of two integers with different signs will always yield a negative integer solution.
