Grade 6 Integers: Dividing Integers

Worked examples

Real problems from the practice worksheets, solved one step at a time.

1. Example 1

   27 ÷ (−9) = ?

   1. Divide the numbers without their signs: 27 ÷ 9 = 3.
   2. The signs are different, so the answer is negative.
   3. 27 ÷ (−9) = −3

   Answer: −3

2. Example 2

   (−7) ÷ 7 = ?

   1. Divide the numbers without their signs: 7 ÷ 7 = 1.
   2. The signs are different, so the answer is negative.
   3. (−7) ÷ 7 = −1

   Answer: −1

3. Example 3

   (−24) ÷ (−6) = ?

   1. Divide the numbers without their signs: 24 ÷ 6 = 4.
   2. The signs are the same, so the answer is positive.
   3. (−24) ÷ (−6) = 4

   Answer: 4
