DIVISION.

Division is the process of finding how many times one number is contained in another.

The terms used are the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder.

The dividend is the number divided.

The divisor is the number by which we divide, and shows the size of each part.

The quotient is the result, and shows the number of equal parts.

The remainder is the part of the dividend left.

The sign of division is -H, and is read divided by.

The divisor and quotient are factors (makers) of the dividend.

Thus to prove division, we multiply the divisor by the quotient, and to the product we add the remainder, if there is one. The result should be the dividend.
