It looks like there may be a misunderstanding with the calculation you provided. To clarify, when you divide 842.4 by -0.6, you should perform the operation as follows:
1. Divide 842.4 by 0.6.
2. Since you're dividing a positive number by a negative number, your answer will be negative.
Now let's perform the calculation:
\[
842.4 \div -0.6 = 842.4 \div 0.6 \times -1
\]
To simplify \(842.4 \div 0.6\):
1. Convert 0.6 to a whole number by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10:
\[
8424 \div 6
\]
2. Now perform the division:
\[
8424 \div 6 = 1404
\]
3. Since we are dividing by a negative, the final result is:
\[
-1404
\]
Thus, the quotient of \( 842.4 \div -0.6 \) is \(-1404\).
