Division Operation

Divsion operation ---- Fundamental operation Division operation includes:- 1). Two Natural Numbers 2). Division Operator " ÷ ". For example :- 134 ÷ 2 Start with the left most number. Since 1 is smaller than 2 so we take 13 and divide it by 2. 13 is not exactly divided by 2, so we find nearest number to 13 which is exactly divisible by 2. 12 is the nearest smallest number to 13 divisible by 2 at quotient 6 and remainder 1. Now, put the next digit 4 of 134 (dividend) to the remainder 1, which give 14. 14 is exactly divisible by 2 at quotient 7 and leave remainder 0. Therfore, 134 ÷ 2 = 27. (For better understanding you can see the Video Tutorial) In Division Operation we come accross some following terminologies :- 1). Dividend 2). Divisor 3). Quotient 4). Remainder Lets understand the above terminologies:- Dividend - is the number which is to be divided Divisor - is the number which divides the dividend Quotient - is the number on which the dividend is divisible by divisor Remainder - is the number which is left in the last at the end of division operation For Example :- 9 ÷ 2 9 which is a dividend, when divide by 2 which is a divisor, give 4 as quotient and leave 1 as remainder
