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 \(2\frac{12}{23}\).
