What number is a divisor in a division question?

Answer 1

__

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.
