To solve \( 57 \div (-15) \):
\[
\frac{57}{-15} = -\frac{57}{15}
\]
Now, simplifying \( \frac{57}{15} \):
1. Divide 57 by 15, which gives you approximately 3.8.
2. Therefore, \( -\frac{57}{15} \) can be expressed as:
\[
-\frac{57 \div 3}{15 \div 3} = -\frac{19}{5}
\]
So, the answer is:
\[
-3.8 \quad \text{or} \quad -\frac{19}{5}
\]
In decimal form, it is approximately \(-3.8\), and as a fraction, it's \(-\frac{19}{5}\).
