You can divide 2 apples between two people, or between four people, but you can’t divide them between zero people. That premise doesn’t make sense, the question is incomplete to be answerable.
By expanding our scale with another dimension (complex numbers in math) we expand the question. How do we add another dimension to the physical, practical anecdote? 🤔
/edit: anecdotes and simplification are often a balancing act between between simplicity and (thorough) correctness. The opposite thing and enemy of enemy (in a two party premise) fit and practically correct for the Negation of the multiplication. It doesn’t thoroughly represent the multiplication part. But I think the negation is what you were looking for?
Explain what exactly?

Can you explain negative multiplication is in this sense? Like
-1 * -1to make it simple?Edit: is it like
the enemy of my enemy is my friendtype deal?Yes, exactly. A double negation.
The opposite of the opposite is the same again.
