Evaluate $50 \div (- 5)$

Open in App

Solution

We know that
When we divide a positive integer by a negative integer, first we simplify the signs and put a negative sign(-) and then we divide them as whole numbers.
$\Rightarrow 50 \div (- 5) = \frac{50}{- 5} = - \frac{50}{5} = - 10$
Hence the result is $- 10$
