When dividing two negative numbers does the order of the numbers matter? And why?

When you divide a negative number by a positive number, your answer is a negative number. As with multiplication, it doesn't matter which order the positive and negative numbers are in, the answer is always a negative number. For example: -8 /2 = -4. And, the answer is still -4, when 8 is divided by -2.

When you divide a negative number by a positive number then the quotient is negative. When you divide a positive number by a negative number then the quotient is also negative. When you divide two negative numbers then the quotient is positive. The same rules hold true for multiplication.
