In a division:
- the DIVIDEND is the number being divided into
- the DIVISOR is the number doing the division
- the QUOTIENT is the result.
eg in 10 ÷ 2 = 5 the dividend is 10, the divisor is 2 and the quotient is 5.
Quotient can also used to refer to the whole number part of a result, eg in 11 ÷ 2 = 5 r 1, the 5 is often called the quotient and the remainder is 1.

How many times does 45 going to 72?
45 goes into 72 one time with a remainder of 27. This can be calculated by dividing 72 by 45, which equals 1 with a remainder of 27. In division, the number being divided is called the dividend (72), the number we are dividing by is called the divisor (45), the result of division is called the quotient (1), and any leftover amount is called the remainder (27).
How do you rename a fraction as a mix number?
You divide the numerator by the denominator (integer division). Write the integer result as a whole number, and the remainder in the numerator, without changing the denominator. Example: convert 11/3. Dividing 11 by 3 gives you 3, with a remainder of 2. So, the result is 3 2/3.
