Here is the correct answer and a detailed explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The correct answer is 13.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve the problem (-104) \u00f7 (-8), we need to follow two main steps: first, determine the sign of the result, and second, perform the division of the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important rule to remember here involves dividing integers with signs. When you divide a negative number by another negative number, the result will always be positive. You can think of it as the two negative signs &#8220;canceling each other out&#8221; to create a positive. This rule is consistent with multiplication, where multiplying two negatives also yields a positive result. So, we already know our final answer will be a positive number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have determined the sign, we can focus on the division itself by using the absolute values of the numbers: 104 \u00f7 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know the answer immediately, you can break the problem down into smaller, more manageable steps. A helpful strategy is to find a familiar multiple of 8 that is close to 104. For instance, we know that 8 multiplied by 10 is 80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we see what is left over from 104 after we account for the 80. We can do this with subtraction: 104 &#8211; 80 = 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we only need to figure out how many times 8 goes into the remaining 24. We know that 8 \u00d7 3 = 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we add the results from our two steps together. We had 10 (from 80 \u00f7 8) and 3 (from 24 \u00f7 8). Adding these gives us 10 + 3 = 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To verify our answer, we can use multiplication. If (-104) \u00f7 (-8) = 13, then 13 \u00d7 (-8) should equal -104. A positive number (13) multiplied by a negative number (-8) results in a negative product. Since 13 \u00d7 8 is 104, it confirms that 13 \u00d7 (-8) is indeed -104.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-2373.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273998\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Of course.
