mathematics is a subject, it is?
The two numbers that give you the quotient in a division operation are the dividend and the divisor. The dividend is the number being divided, while the divisor is the number by which the dividend is being divided. The result of the division operation is the quotient. For example, in the division problem 10 ÷ 2 = 5, 10 is the dividend, 2 is the divisor, and 5 is the quotient.
The dividend is divided by the divisor to give the quotient. Alternatively, this can be expressed as: The divisor divides into the dividend to give the quotient.
How about: 44/2 = 22 as an example
