The sign of the quotient is the same as the smaller number.
The sign of the quotient is the same as the smaller number.
The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The sign of the quotient is the same as the larger number.
The sign of the quotient is the same as the larger number.
The quotient is negative if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The quotient is negative if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The sign of the quotient is determined by the signs of the divisor and dividend. If the signs are the same (both positive or both negative), then the quotient is positive. If the signs are different (one positive and one negative), then the quotient is negative. Therefore, the correct response is: The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The sign of the quotient is determined by two rules:
1. If the signs of the divisor and dividend are the same, the quotient is positive.
2. If the signs of the divisor and dividend are different, the quotient is negative.
In other words, if both the divisor and dividend are positive or both are negative, the quotient is positive. If one is positive and the other is negative, the quotient is negative.
To determine the sign of the quotient, there are two key rules to follow:
1. If the signs of the divisor and dividend are the same (both positive or both negative), then the quotient will be positive. This means that if both numbers are either positive or negative, the quotient will be positive.
2. If the signs of the divisor and dividend are different (one positive and one negative), then the quotient will be negative. This means that if one number is positive and the other is negative, the quotient will be negative.
Using these rules, we can determine the sign of the quotient in different scenarios:
- If both numbers are positive, the quotient will be positive.
- If both numbers are negative, the quotient will be positive.
- If one number is positive and the other is negative, the quotient will be negative.
So, in summary, the sign of the quotient is determined by whether the signs of the divisor and dividend are the same or different.
