Solve -13×4÷(-8): Working with Negative Integer Operations

$-13\cdot4:-8=$

Let's solve the exercise from left to right.

Note that we are first multiplying a negative number by a positive number, therefore the result must be a negative number:

$-13\times4=-52$

Now we got the exercise:

$-52:-8=$

Let's write the exercise as a simple fraction:

$\frac{-52}{-8}=$

Note that we are dividing between two negative numbers, therefore the result must be a positive number:

$\frac{52}{8}=$

Let's convert it to an addition exercise:

$6+\frac{4}{8}=$

Let's break down the 8 into a multiplication exercise:

$6+\frac{4}{4\times2}=$

Let's reduce the 4 in both eight and the fraction's denominator:

$6+\frac{1}{2}=6\frac{1}{2}$
