1 answer

To find the product of -116 and 7, we can use the formula:

Product = (Integer part of quotient) + (remainder/denominator)

Dividing -116 by 7:

-116 ÷ 7 = -16

Therefore, the quotient is -16.

To find the remainder, we can use the formula:

Remainder = Dividend - (Divisor * Quotient)

Remainder = -116 - (7 * -16) = -116 - (-112) = -116 + 112 = -4

The quotient is -16 and the remainder is -4.

Therefore, the product -116 multiplied by 7 is -16 -4/7 as a mixed number.
