When the number of negative signs is odd in any expression involving multiplication and/or division, the result will be negative.

When the number of negative signs is even, the result is positive.

You can check the sign by replacing each factor by +1 if it is positive and -1 if it is negative. Your problem has +1/-1 = -1. The sign of the result is negative.
