Types of Integers:
There are two types of Integers:
1. Positive Integers:
Positive integers are whole numbers, which are greater than zero. For example, 25, 27, 103, 758…etc.
2. Negative Integers:
Negative integers are the opposites of the whole numbers. For example, -5, -22, -38, -504, -4585…etc. Negative numbers indicated by the sign (-). Zero is neither positive nor negative.
Rules for Dividing Integers:
The rules for solving dividing integers is explained below:Consider this division example: 24 ÷ 4 = 6.
In division each number is referred by a special name.
Here, 24 is dividend, 4 is divisor, and 6 is quotient
quotient × divisor = dividend
dividend ÷ divisor = quotient
dividend ÷ quotient = divisor
Rules for Solving Dividing Integersquotient × divisor = dividend
dividend ÷ divisor = quotient
dividend ÷ quotient = divisor
1) Positive ÷ Positive = Positive
Example: 28 ÷ 7 = 4
28, 7, and 4 are positive.
2) Negative ÷ Negative = Positive28, 7, and 4 are positive.
Example: -28 ÷ -7 = 4
28 and 7 are negative, but 4 is positive.
3) Negative ÷ Positive = Negative28 and 7 are negative, but 4 is positive.
Example: -28 ÷ 7 = -4
28 is negative, 7 is positive, but 4 is negative.
4) Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
Example: 28 ÷ -7 = -4
28 is positive, 7 is negative, and 4 is negative.
