-152/-8=19

Keep subtracting the divisor from dividend until dividend becomes less than divisor. The dividend becomes the remainder, and the number of times subtraction is done becomes the quotient. Below is the implementation of above approach

-152-(-8)=-144

-144-(-8)=-136

-136-(-8)=-128...

Continue this approach to get the answer of 19.
