Solve Division Problem: 850 ÷ (-1) Step by Step

Let's note that we are dividing a positive number by a negative number, and therefore the result will necessarily be a negative number:

$+:-=-$

Let's remember the rule:

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

In other words, any number divided by 1 will be equal to itself.

Therefore:

$\frac{850}{-1}=-850$
