How do you get to a friendly part in division?

Answer 1

There are four parts to a division equation:

1. Dividend (number being divided up into groups)

2. Divisor (how many groups the dividend is bring broken into)

3. Quotient (how many in each group from the dividend)

4. Remainder (the leftover that is less than the divisor)

Another way to locate them in an expression using the little division house:

Dividend is inside the house. Divisor is outside at the door. Quotient is on top of the house and the Remainder are close by their friends, the quotient.
