Solve Division Problem: (-17) ÷ (-1) Step by Step

Note that we are dividing two negative numbers, therefore the result must be a positive number.

Let's rewrite the exercise as a simple fraction:

$\frac{17}{1}=$

Remember the rule:

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

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

$\frac{17}{1}=17$
