The number of things that need to be divided into certain equal parts.

Explanation: From the image, let’s divide five cakes by 2. The leftover will be 1. Here, dividend = 5, divisor = 2, quotient = 2 and remainder = 1. So, 5 = 2 × 2 + 1.

A number to be divided by another number is called the dividend.

Explanation: Here 16 balls are divided among 4 numbers then each get 4 balls. On dividing 16 by 4, we get 4. Hence 16 is the dividend.

A number that divides another number either completely or with a remainder is called a divisor.

Explanation: On dividing 12 by 3, we get 4. Here 3 is the number that divides 12 completely into 4 parts and is known as the divisor.

The quotient is the number we obtain when we divide one number by another.

Explanation: On dividing six by 2, we get 3. Here the result of the division is 3, so it is the quotient.

The remainder is the leftover number that cannot divide exactly.

Explanation: From the image, there are ten carrots. If we share three carrots with each rabbit, Only one carrot will remain with us, and this leftover carrot is called the remainder.
