Theory: Object of this post is to prove by demonstration that "- 1" greater than "+ 1", and "-10" is greater than "10". Lets take some number, say 10. (a) 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1 (That was easy, wasn't it) (b) 10 ÷ 10 = 1 (Don't tell me you used a calculator for this) (c) 10 ÷ 5 = 2 (Slightly tough - Part 1) (d) 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5 (Decimals..... I know, it is tough, it will get tougher ahead) (e) 10 ÷ 3 = 3.333333..... (I see you sweating) (f) 10 ÷ 2 = 5 (Slightly tough - Part 2) (g) 10 ÷ 1 = 10 (Before you touch the calculator or "Phone Your Friend", mail me your house address. I would like to pay you a visit, with grating teeth and clenched fist) (h) 10 ÷ 0 = 8..... Sorry. Let me kick it dead. It is " ∞" (i) 10 ÷ - 1 = -10 (ii) 10 ÷ - 2 = -5 (iii) 10 ÷ - 5 = - 2 (iv) 10 ÷ - 10 = -1 The Conclusion: As the denominator decreases, the result on the RHS increases. We see that when the denominator was 100, RHS value was 0.1 and it kept ...
