The the answer to a division problem is called the quotient. The number that is doing the dividing is called the divisor. The number that gets divided up is called the dividend.
Example: If 3 boys ask to mow your yard for $24, then each boy would get $8.
24 divided by 3 is 8. (24 / 3 = 8 )
24 is the dividend (the number getting divided up)
3 is the divisor (the number that is doing the dividing)
8 is the quotient.
