Division Terminology

Today, we are going to learn the correct terminology used in division. Terminology is the vocabulary of technical terms used in a particular field. So, when we’re learning about division, three words that are important to know are quotient, divisor, and [Bm]dividend.

Quotient, divisor, and [Bm]dividend–terminology I ɾecommend.
Let’s learn what each word ɾeally means;
it will help us talk intelligently. It’s division [C7]terminology
Words we need, I guarantee, when we’re talking about math.
When we’re learning our facts,
These words will have a great impact!

A quotient is the number obtained by dividing one quantity by another.
In 24 ÷ 6 = 4, 4 is the quotient. The quotient is the
answer to [C7]a division [C7]problem. The quotient is the answer when we’re learning to [C7]divide. Take 12 ÷ 3 now 4 is the answer you [A7will find.

A divisor is a quantity that evenly divides another quantity. In 24 ÷ 6 = 4, 6 is the divisor.
Remember that a divisor is a quantity that evenly divides, so while 6 is a divisor of 24, 6 is not a divisor of 25.
