Module 2 Lesson 21

Front

What is the process of division in mathematics?

Back

Division is the process of determining how many times one number (the divisor) is contained within another number (the dividend). It can also be expressed as finding the quotient and the remainder.

Front

What does 'R' stand for in division problems?

Back

'R' stands for 'remainder', which is the amount left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor.

Front

How do you express a division problem with a remainder?

Back

A division problem with a remainder is expressed in the form 'Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient R Remainder', where the quotient is the whole number result of the division and the remainder is what is left over.

What is the quotient in the division of 257 by 36?

Back

The quotient is 7.

Front

What is the remainder in the division of 257 by 36?

Back

The remainder is 5.

Front

How do you calculate the remainder in a division problem?

Back

To calculate the remainder, subtract the product of the divisor and the quotient from the dividend: Remainder = Dividend - (Divisor × Quotient).

Front

What is the quotient in the division of 759 by 94?

Back

The quotient is 8.

Front

What is the remainder in the division of 591 by 73?

Back

The remainder is 7.

Front

How can you check your division answer?

Back

You can check your division answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder. The result should equal the original dividend.
