SIMPLE DIVISION
a. The number "being divided" is the dividend. The number you are "dividing
by" is the divisor. The answer is the quotient.
EXAMPLE:
2 (quotient)
(divisor) 6)12 (dividend)
b. Anything left over is the remainder.
EXAMPLE:
2
6)13
12
1 (remainder)
c. The remainder can always be written as a fraction. The remainder becomes
the numerator and the divisor becomes the denominator. Thus, the remainder in the
problem above is 1/6. The quotient is 2 1/6.
