Add the value to 360 to find the corresponding “positive” angle.

Explanation:

The “quadrants” start in the positive-positive x-y quarter of the Cartesian plane and progress clockwise around it. The respective degree boundaries are I: 0-90, II: 90-180, III: 180-270, IV: 270-360.

A ‘negative’ angle just means that it is taken in the counter-clockwise direction from 0^o0o.

Add the value to 360 to find the corresponding “positive” angle.
360 + (-336) = 24

24^o24o is in the first quadrant.
