The divisor
The divisor is divided into the dividend. When drawing the division house, the divisor is on the outside. The dividend is on the inside of the house, and the quotient is the answer (on top).
You can always write a numerical division expression as a decimal.

division
So that the answer from the division is a single quotient.
first you need to know how to put the fraction in its proper format, in which the denominator goes "outside the house", and when the numerator goes "inside the house". Then you work from there, and write down whatever answer you get, whether its a repeating decimal and such.
It is called a divisor. The inside number is called the dividend and the answer is the quotient. The leftover number is called the quotient but you can keep dividing until you get a decimal.
You do it be long division.
