What is dividend?

If x is divided by y, x is the dividend and y is the divisor.

A divisor is a number that divides another number evenly without leaving a remainder. In other words, it is a factor or a number that divides another number exactly.

For example, consider the number 12. Its divisors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 since these numbers can divide 12 without any remainder. In this case, 12 is the dividend, and the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 are its divisors.

On the other hand, a dividend is the number that is being divided in a division operation. It is the number that is separated into equal parts, each represented by the divisor. In the division equation x รท y, x is the dividend and y is the divisor. The quotient is the result of the division and represents the number of times the divisor can evenly divide the dividend.
