Solve (-8):(-1): Applying Division Rules with Negative Numbers

Firstly we need to realise that since we are dividing two negative numbers, the result must be a positive number.

Let's write the exercise in the form of a simple fraction:

$\frac{8}{1}=$

Remember the rule:

$\frac{x}{1}=x$

Any number we divide by 1 will be equal to itself, therefore:

$\frac{8}{1}=8$
