To determine the quotient of 325 and -5, we proceed as follows:
1. Understand the Problem:
- We are given two numbers, 325 (dividend) and -5 (divisor), and we need to find their quotient.
2. Divide the Numbers:
- When dividing two numbers, we take the dividend and divide it by the divisor.
3. Perform the Division:
- Dividing 325 by -5 yields a quotient.
- Since 325 is positive and -5 is negative, the quotient will be negative.
4. Sign of the Quotient:
- Recall the rule: When dividing numbers with different signs, the quotient is negative.
5. Calculate the Absolute Value:
- The absolute value of the division [tex]\( \frac{325}{5} \)[/tex] is 65.
6. Apply the Sign:
- Given that the quotient must be negative, the final result is -65.
Therefore, the quotient of 325 and -5 is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{-65}
\][/tex]
