Answer 2

When - 8 is divided by 8 the quotient is -1.

Given:

Dividend = -8 and Divisor = 8

To find:

The quotient of the division of -8 and 8

Solution:

By dividing -8 with 8 we get,

-(8/8) = -1

This is because according to the property of integers, when a negative integer is divided by a positive integer the quotient value remains negative.

That is why the quotient of the division value is negative in this problem. On the other hand, if the division takes place between two negative integers, then the resulting quotient would be a positive value.

Hence, on division of a negative integer with a positive integer, the resulting quotient is a negative integer.

Therefore, the quotient on dividing -8 with 8 is -1.
