When dividing real numbers, the quotient will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different.

Same Sign & Different Signs
(+)÷(+)=(+) & (+)÷(-)=(-)
(-)÷(-)=(+) & (-)÷(+)=(-)
In our case one number is negative and one number is positive, so the product will be negative. We can start by rewriting the division as a fraction.

In our case one number is neither negative nor positive and the other number is positive.
0÷ 8
We can recall that zero divided by any number is zero.
0÷ 8=0

8÷ 0
We can recall that division by zero is not possible. This is because, there exists no number x, real or otherwise, such that
x* 0=8.
