WORKSHEET 1.20: DIVIDING INTEGERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When dividing integers, determine the sign of the quotient by following the rules below:
- If both the divisor and the dividend are positive or both are negative, the quotient is
positive. - If either the divisor or the dividend is positive and the other is negative, the quotient is
negative. - If 0 is divided by any number, the quotient is 0.
- If any number is divided by 0, there is no solution because division by zero is undefined.
