What is negative 9 divided by negative 13?

Here we will explain and show you how to get the answer to negative 9 divided by negative 13.

When calculating a problem like negative 9 divided by negative 13, you can simply ignore the fact that they are negative numbers and divide 9 by 13 to get the answer. Here is why it is that easy:

In this division problem, negative 9 is the dividend and negative 13 is the divisor. Furthermore, the dividend is the same as the numerator of a fraction and the divisor is the same as the denominator of a fraction. Thus, negative 9 divided by negative 13 can be written like this:
