Each part of a division equation has a name. The three main names
are the dividend, the divisor, and the quotient.
Example:
In the problem 20 ÷ 4 = 5
Dividend = 20
Divisor = 4
Quotient = 5
*Note: The teacher may use manipulatives (blocks, colored cubes, etc.) to show the
student concrete examples of using Division. She may also share real life experiences
where in fair sharing takes place (e.g. sharing of food, money)
Special Cases
There are three special cases to consider when dividing.
1) Dividing by 1: When dividing something by 1, the answer is the
original number. In other words, if the divisor is 1 then the
quotient equals the dividend.
2
Examples:
20 ÷ 1 = 20
14.7 ÷ 1 = 14.7
3) Dividend equals Divisor: If the dividend and the divisor are the
same number (and not 0), then the answer is always 1.
Examples:
20 ÷ 20 = 1
14.7 ÷ 14.7 = 1
