Study Notes

Division Concepts

Compatible Number: Easily computed numbers for mental math; e.g., 176/8 can be simplified to 160 for easier division.
Distributive Property: Mathematical principle stating that a number multiplied by a sum is the same as multiplying the number by each addend and summing the results; e.g., 5 × (10 + 6) = (5 × 10) + (5 × 6).

Terminology in Division

Dividend: The number being divided in a division operation; in 36/6=6, 36 is the dividend.
Divisor: The number that divides the dividend; in 15/3=5, 3 is the divisor.

Multiples and Division Methods

Multiple: The result of multiplying a number by a whole number; a fundamental concept in understanding division and factors.
Partial Quotient: A division technique involving subtracting multiples of the divisor from the dividend and summing the resultant quotients for the final answer.

Outcomes of Division

Quotient: The result of the division operation, excluding any remainder; e.g., in 35/7=5, 5 is the quotient.
Remainder: The leftover amount when the dividend cannot be divided evenly by the divisor; important in understanding the completeness of division results.
