Division Terms
Division Terms: Learn
There are four terms which describe the four numbers in a division problem:
- The dividend is the number that is being divided.
- The divisor is the number that the dividend will be divided by.
- The quotient is the number of times the divisor will go into the dividend.
- The remainder is a number that is less than the divisor and is too small to be divided by the divisor to form a whole number.
A division problem may be written horizontally such as
49474 / 7 = 7067 R 5.
Alternatively, it could be written vertically as:
7 | 0 | 6 | 7 | R | 5 | |||
7 | 4 | 9 | 4 | 7 | 4 |
In both cases, the terms are as follows:
- 7 is the divisor
- 49474 is the dividend
- 7067 is the quotient
- 5 is the remainder
