Sign Rule Application in Financial Auditing

In a corporate accounting department, precision in recording sign-based adjustments is vital for ledger accuracy. Discuss the fundamental sign rules for integer division by evaluating the following two specific entries from a recent audit: −27÷3-27 \div 3 and −100÷(−4)-100 \div (-4). In your response, state the correct numerical quotient for each entry and provide a clear explanation of the sign rule (same signs versus different signs) that determines whether the final result is positive or negative.
