Find the quotient in each of the following:

(a) \[\left( -1728 \right)\div 12\]

(b) \[\left( -15625 \right)\div \left( -125 \right)\]

(c) \[3000\div \left( -100 \right)\]

Answer:

(a) We have.

\[\left( -1728 \right)\div 12=\frac{\left( -1728 \right)}{\left( 12 \right)}=-\frac{1728}{12}=-144\]

(b) We have

\[\left( -15625 \right)\div \left( -125 \right)=\frac{\left( -15625 \right)}{\left( -125 \right)}=\frac{15625}{125}=125\]

(c) We have

\[3000\div \left( -100 \right)=\frac{\left( 3000 \right)}{\left( -100 \right)}\]

\[=-\frac{3000}{100}\]

\[=-30\]
