Calculate -5.8 ÷ -3.4: Dividing Negative Decimals

Let's convert 5.8 to a simple fraction:

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

Let's convert 3.4 to a simple fraction:

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

Now the exercise we got is:

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

Let's convert the division exercise to a multiplication exercise, and don't forget 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 and we get:

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

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

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

Let's reduce the 2 in both the numerator and denominator of the fraction and we get:

$\frac{29}{17}$
