1 answer

To solve the expression \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \), we can break it down step by step.

  1. Divide 56 by -4: \[ 56 \div (-4) = -14 \]

  2. Now, take the result and divide it by -2: \[ -14 \div (-2) = 7 \]

Thus, the final result of the expression \( 56 \div (-4) \div (-2) \) is \( 7 \).

So, the answer is \( \boxed{7} \).
