Question

If you divide a negative by a negative is it positive

Answer 1

Yes, dividing a negative by a negative results in a positive.

Explanation:

This is actually a rule in math, to some certain extent. I'm not sure why, but this rule states that any number (positive or negative) multiplied or divided by any number that is the same sign (it has to be the same positive or negative) will result in a positive. This is confusing to explain, but here's some examples:

Division:

-8 / -2 = 4

-8 / 2 = -4

(if the signs are the same, it's positive. If the signs are different, it's negative.)

Multiplication:

3 x -9 = -27

3 x 9 = 27

Answer 2

Yes it is.
