00:00:10.809 --> 00:00:16.340
Division is related to many other kinds of
math. It can be thought of as the opposite

00:00:16.340 --> 00:00:24.980
of multiplication, or as the repeated subtraction
of one number from another. But if you want

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:29.509
to think about it on its own, division is
just a way to determine how many times a number

00:00:29.509 --> 00:00:33.530
can be broken down by another number.

00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:39.329
You can set up a division problem using three
different symbols: the fraction slash, the

00:00:39.329 --> 00:00:46.329
division sign, or the long division symbol.
All three symbols mean divided by.

00:00:48.769 --> 00:00:54.799
There are also three names for each part of
the division problem. The number you are dividing

00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:01.780
is called the dividend. The number you are
dividing by is the divisor. The resulting

00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:03.570
number is the quotient.

00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:10.570
For example: if you want to divide a pizza
with 8 slices between 4 people, 8 is the dividend,

00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:18.390
4 is the divisor, and the number of slices
each person gets, 2, is the quotient.

00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:16.060
Sometimes you can't divide numbers up equally.

00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:26.920
In that case, there will be something left

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.740
over. This leftover number is called the remainder.

00:01:30.740 --> 00:01:34.909
If you tried to divide the 8 slices between

00:01:34.909 --> 00:01:38.899
3 people, each person would get 2 slices,

00:01:38.899 --> 00:01:42.380
and 2 would be left over. These two slices

00:01:42.380 --> 00:01:43.479
are the remainder.

00:01:43.479 --> 00:01:50.479
And those are the basics of division.
