    To divide real numbers, you find the multiplicative inverse of the divisor and multiply it by the number being divided. The mean of a set of numbers is found by adding all the numbers and dividing the sum by the total number of numbers. Dividing numbers with the same sign results in a positive quotient, while dividing numbers with different signs results in a negative quotient.
