a divisor
Dividend divided by divisor equals quotient.
Dividend if the number that you divide, divisor is the number that you divide dividend into, and quotient is the number that you get from dividing dividend into divisor. For example, in 12/3=4, 12 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient.
The divisor is 9. quotient x divisor + remainder = dividend ⇒ quotient x divisor = dividend - remainder ⇒ divisor = (dividend - remainder) ÷ quotient = (53 - 8) ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
A dividend is the number that is divided by the divisor
quotent X divisor + remainder = dividend
Because the dividend divided by the divisor produces a quotient.
Divisor and dividend are two very related math terms
You divide the dividend by the divisor (or the divisor 'into' the dividend) to get the quotient.
