To find the quotient of \(-58 \div -23\), you can perform the division:

\[ -58 \div -23 = \frac{58}{23} \]

Now, calculate \(58 \div 23\):

\[ 58 \div 23 = 2.52 \quad \text{(approximately)} \]

However, \(-58\) and \(-23\) are both negative, which means the result will be positive. Thus, the quotient is:

\[ \frac{58}{23} \approx 2.52 \quad \text{or as a fraction, it's} \frac{58}{23} \]

If you want the exact result in fraction form:

\[ \frac{58}{23} \text{ can be simplified, and it's already in simplest form.} \]

So, the quotient is \(2.52\) or approximately \(2\frac{12}{23}\).
