Where do you put the dividend in a division problem?

Answer 1

The dividend is the first number in a dividing equation.

• Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient; the Remainder is any 'left over' value, if not evenly divisible.

For example,

54 divided by 9= 6.

54 is the dividend, 9 is the Divisor, 6 is the Quotient, and the Remainder is 0.

Answer 2

You put the dividend under the line, the divisor outside and the quotient on the top.
