A dividend is the portion of a division problem above the dividing line; it is the amount to be divided. The word problem "Nine pieces of candy are divided equally among three children; how many pieces does each child receive?" suggests a division problem. In that problem, the nine pieces of candy is the dividend. The three children are the divisor, and the three pieces of candy which each child gets are the quotient.
