In dividing as in multiplying with negative numbers, the amount of negatives in your problem, the number of negatives in your problem dictates the sign of your answer.

So because this is a negative and this is a negative, i know that my answer is going to be positive.
00:20
So i'm just going to go ahead and drop all my negatives and solve my problem.
00:25
So i've got 2437s, change my divide to multiply.
00:31
And remember, this would be negative 8 over 1.
00:33
So the inverse of that, or the reciprocal, would be 1 over 8.
00:38
And then if i go ahead and multiply these together, 24 times 1 is 24.
00:43
And then i have 37 times 8 in my denominator.
00:48
And so now i'm looking for common factors.
00:51
And 24 and 37 do not have any common factors, but 24 and 8 have a common factor...
