The number by which we divide in division is called the divisor.
In a division problem, we have three main parts:
- Dividend: The number being divided.
- Divisor: The number that divides the dividend.
- Quotient: The result of the division.
For example, in the division problem 10 รท 2 = 5:
- 10 is the dividend.
- 2 is the divisor.
- 5 is the quotient.
Therefore, the divisor is the number that indicates how many times we are splitting the dividend into equal groups. It's the number doing the dividing.
