Question

What is the quotient of negative 192 over negative 16?

Answer 1

12 (please use a calculator next time)

Explanation:

When I have to simplify a tough fraction, I like to constantly divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2 until I can no longer do so, as it's a lot easier to divide most numbers by 2.

`(-192)/(-16)\\ \\\to (96)/(8) \\ \\\to \frac{48}4 \\ \\\to \frac{24}2 \to 12`
