We use some terms in division. These terms are :
Dividend
24 ÷ 8 = 3 Quotient
Divisior
The number we have to divide is called dividend .
The number with which we divide is called divisor .
The result to a division problem is called quotient .
After dividing if any number is left over, it is called remainder .
Example : Divide 30 by 6 using repeated subtraction method.
Solution : 30 ÷ 6
3 0
– 6 1st time
2 4
– 6 2nd time
1 8
– 6 3rd time
1 2
– 6 4th time
6
– 6 5th time
0
We subtracted 6 from 30 five times to get 0 (zero). So, our quotient is 5.
Thus, 30 ÷ 6 = 5.
