Key idea: Dividing integers

The sign rule for division is **the same as for multiplication**: same signs → positive, different signs → negative.

12 ÷ 4 = 3
(−12) ÷ (−4) = 3
12 ÷ (−4) = −3
(−12) ÷ 4 = −3

Also: integer ÷ 1 = the integer; integer ÷ itself = 1; **never divide by 0** — division by zero is undefined.
