Division

• The process of separating two numbers into smaller groups.
• Division is a one of the basic operation of arithmetic.
• Some of the numbers are divided with reminders and some of them are not.
• There are 3 parts – The divisor, dividend and quotient.
• The divisor is the number that will be used to separate the dividend (the target number).
• Dividend is usually the bigger number, or the number that will be separated by the divisor.
• Quotient is the answer of the process.

1. Example: 30 ÷ 5= 6
2. Divisor —– 5
3. Dividend —– 30
4. Quotient —— 6

Here is an example with a reminder:

1. Example: 28 ÷ 5 = 5 (R: 3)
2. Divisor —– 5
3. Dividend —– 28
4. Quotient —– 5
5. Reminder —– 3
