Question

When $-16$ is divided by _________ the quotient is $4$. Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.

Answer 1

Let us consider that, When $-16$ is divided by $n$ the quotient is $4$.

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore \frac{-16}{n}=4 \\ \Rightarrow 4\times n=-16 \\ \Rightarrow n=\frac{-16}{4} \\ \Rightarrow n=-4 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the complete statement is,

When $-16$ is divided by $-4$ the quotient is $4$.
