Question

divide: \\(\

$$\begin{array}{r}\\square\\\\-13\\enclose{longdiv}{52}\\end{array}$$

\\) save answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall division rule for signs

When dividing a positive number by a negative number, the result is negative. We need to find how many times -13 goes into 52.

Step2: Perform the division

We know that \( 13\times4 = 52 \), so \( 52\div(-13)=-4 \) because the signs are different (positive divided by negative gives negative) and the absolute values give 4.

Answer:

-4
