I don't see the specific numbers to divide. Could you post the expression?

Meanwhile, here is the usual method and two short examples using fraction bars.

Rule: (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a/b) × (d/c) = (a·d)/(b·c). For signs: multiply the absolute values and give the result a positive sign if the two numbers have the same sign, negative if they have different signs.

Example 1 (same sign → positive):
(-2)/3 ÷ (-4)/5
= [(-2)/3] × [5/(-4)] (take reciprocal of the divisor)
= (-2·5)/(3·-4)
= (-10)/(-12)
= 10/12 = 5/6

Example 2 (different signs → negative):
(-3)/4 ÷ 5/6
= (-3)/4 × 6/5
= (-18)/(20)
= -9/10

Post the exact division you want done and I'll compute that quotient.
