Extend the pattern above. By simple pattern evaluation we see it is 3, 6 and 9.  We have shown the number line above.  It makes sense logically that the next number is 3 and that it becomes positive. The best way to extend this to division is to treat this as multiplication by fraction and extend these rules.<br>
