The whole number left over when you divide and the divisor doesn't divide the dividend evenly?
It is the remainder.
What does it mean for a divisor to divide evenly into a dividend?
It means that there is no remainder in the problem. For example 9/3=3. The nine is the dividend, and the first three is the divisor. There was no remainder, so it divided evenly.
What does it mean when you represent the remainder?
It means that the divisor does not go into the dividend evenly.
What number is a divisor in a division question?
__ 10\/50: 10 is the divisor, and 50 is the dividend. The divisor is the number "doing" the dividing. The dividend is the number you are dividing into equal quantities. In other words you want to see how many times you can divide 10 evenly from 50; i.e. 10 is dividing 50 into 5 equal quantities. This particular quotient would be 5. You would voice this equation as dividend divided by divisor or 50 divided by 10. *Remeber divid"end" is at the "end" of the equation.
What happens when you divide using prime numbers?
The answer depends on whether or not the divisor is divisible evenly by the prime.
