Answer to Problem 29P

The quotient of numbers is $-21$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The expression is $84÷\left(-4\right)$ .

Calculation:

The quotient of numbers is calculated as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 84÷\left(-4\right)\\ \Rightarrow -\left(4\begin{array}{c}\hfill 21\\ \hfill \overline{)\begin{array}{l}84\\ \underset{\_}{8}\\ \underset{\_}{\begin{array}{l}04\\ 04\end{array}}\\ 00\end{array}}\end{array}\right)\\ \Rightarrow -21\end{array}$

Thus, the quotient of numbers is $-21$ .
