The divisor divides into the dividend to give the quotient.

Alternatively, the dividend is divided by the divisor to give the quotient.

8 divided by 48 is not 6, it is 1/6

8 divided into 48 is 6

Here 8 is the divisor, 48 the dividend, 6 the quotient.

The division:

. . . . 6

. . -----

8 | 48

is read as "8 divided into 48 equals 6". I personally would prefer to use this reading, but it can also be read in the same way as the next example division:

48 / 8 = 6

is read as "48 divided by 8 equals 6".

Also, note that in a fraction, the numerator is equivalent to the dividend and the denominator the divisor
