Question

By what number should -15 raise to -1 be divided so that the quotient may be equalto -15 raise to -1

Answer 1

`(-15)^(-1)` must be divided by 1 in order to have the quotient as
`(-15)^(-1)`

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend =
`(-15)^(-1)`

Quotient =
`(-15)^(-1)`

We notice that the dividend and the quotient are equal. This means the divisor is 1.

By identity property of 1, any number divided by 1 is equal to the same number or the quotient of a number divided by 1 is equal to the number itself.

So, we can write this as:

`((-15)^(-1))/(1)=(-15)^(-1)`

Thus
`(-15)^(-1)` must be divided by 1 in order to have the quotient as
`(-15)^(-1)` (Answer)
