Calculate -5.8 ÷ -3.4: Dividing Negative Decimals

Solve the following expression:

$-\text{5}.8:-3.4=$

Let's begin by converting 5.8 into a simple fraction:

$-5.8=-\frac{58}{10}$

Let's proceed to convert 3.4 into a simple fraction:

$-3.4=-\frac{34}{10}$

Below is the resulting exercise

$-\frac{58}{10}:-\frac{34}{10}=$

Let's now convert the division exercise into a multiplication exercise, not forgetting to swap the numerator and denominator in the second fraction:

$-\frac{58}{10}\times-\frac{10}{34}=$

Let's reduce the 10 in both fractions in order to obtain the following:

$+\frac{58}{34}=$

Let's now break down the numerator and denominator into multiplication exercises:

$\frac{2\times29}{2\times17}=$

Finally let's reduce the 2 in both the numerator and denominator of the fraction and we should obtain:

$\frac{29}{17}$
