Dividing Integers

 In today's session we are going to discuss about Dividing IntegersIntegers are the numbers which consist of the series of all the positive numbers and it extends in the positive and the negative direction. So the list of the numbers is uncountable and the numbers are infinite in number. So we say it extends from positive infinite to negative infinite number.   We know that we can perform all the mathematical operations on the integers. When we want to learn Dividing Integers, we say that what will be the result when one of the integers is divisible by another integer. First we say that the  closure property  does not hold true for the  integers, it means that  if one of the integer is divided by another integer, then we say that  the result is not necessary an integer. Now we also say that if any integer is divided by 1, then we say that the result is also the same integer.
It can be shown as follows: -5 / 1 = -5
Also 9 / 1 = 9
Thus if we have any integer a, then a / 1 = a is the answer.
 Also remember that if the positive integer is divided by the positive integer, then the result is also a positive number. In the same way if we divide any positive number by a negative number, then we say that the result is a negative number.  We come across the third situation when we have a negative number divided by a negative number, then we get the result as a positive number.  So we conclude:
 Positive  / positive  = positive
Positive  / negative  = negative
Negative / Positive = negative
Negative / negative  = Positive
In order to learn how to find Average Weight, we can visit online tutor math. We also have ICSE Textbooks For Class 12 available on web link and in next session we will discuss about Multiplying Mixed Numbers.
