                                             15         ÷        5        =         3


                                        Dividend             Divisor          Quotient



            The number that is divided is called dividend                      .


            The number by which it is divided is called the divisor                         .

            There are 18  apples. If  you are asked  to share equally among  your 6

            friends, how many will each of you get ? To find your answer, subtract 6

            from 18 as many times as possible.
                                                                                                            1  8

                           1.    each will get an apple.                                                     –  6


                           2.    each will get two apples.                                                   1 2

                                                                                                             – 6
                           3.    each will get three apples.

                                                                                                                  6

                                                                                                             – 6
            This repeated subtraction shows that each of you
                                                                                                                 ×
            will share three oranges.

            It can be written as, 18 ÷ 6 = 3
