Solve the Division Problem: -40 ÷ 2 Step by Step

Remember that we are dividing a positive number by a negative number, so the result must be a negative number.

We will divide both the numerator and the denominator by the highest number that both are divisible by.

In this case, that number is 2

We will divide the fraction as follows:

$\frac{-40:2}{2:2}=\frac{-20}{1}=-20$
