Question

If you divide two integers having the same sign, the result is always ____

• A. a positive integer.
• B. a negative integer.
• C. a positive number
• D. positive or neagtive number

Answer 1

The correct option is C a positive number

Let us take an example of two integers having the same sign and try to understand this.
(i) Both negative
$(-13)÷(-9)=\frac{13}{9}$
[The result is not an integer always]
The result is a positive number.

(ii)Both positive
$\left(13\right)÷\left(9\right)=\frac{13}{9}$
The result is a positive number.

On the contrary, if we divide two integers having different signs, the result will always be a negative number.
