| dividend | the number being divided |
|---|---|
| divisor | the number you divide by |
| quotient | the answer |
| remainder | what's left over when it won't divide equally |
| divisible | divides evenly, no remainder |
dividend ÷ divisor = quotient R remainder
Any number ÷ 1 is itself. 58 ÷ 1 = 58
Any number (except 0) ÷ itself is 1. 9 ÷ 9 = 1
0 ÷ any number (except 0) is 0. 0 ÷ 8 = 0
You cannot divide by 0. 15 ÷ 0 can't be done. Zero can be the dividend, never the divisor.
| 2 | the ones digit is even |
|---|---|
| 3 | add the digits; the sum is divisible by 3 |
| 4 | the last two digits make a number divisible by 4 |
| 5 | ends in 0 or 5 |
| 6 | divisible by both 2 and 3 |
| 9 | add the digits; the sum is divisible by 9 |
| 10 | ends in 0 |
For a one-digit divisor. Divide the first digit, write the answer above, carry the leftover to the next digit, repeat. 936 ÷ 3: 9÷3=3, 3÷3=1, 6÷3=2 → 312
Divide · Multiply · Subtract · Bring down · repeat. For two-digit divisors, estimate first.
When the divisor won't go into a digit, write a 0 in that place. It keeps the place value right. Skip it and 403 becomes 43.
Quotient × divisor, then add the remainder. You should get the dividend back. 93 ÷ 7 = 13 R2 → 7 × 13 = 91, 91 + 2 = 93 ✓
It's the leftover after the full groups. Sometimes you round up (50 kids, vans of 8: 6 R2 → 7 vans). Sometimes you ignore it (50 cookies, boxes of 8: 6 full boxes). Sometimes it is the answer (how many are left? 2). A remainder is always smaller than the divisor.
