Each number in a division problem has a special name:
the number we divide is called the dividend
the number we divide by is called the divisor
the result of the division is called the quotient
For example, let's label each number in the division problem
So, we have that
the dividend is
the divisor is and
the quotient is

Let's consider the following division problem:
We also have the amount left over, which is called the remainder.
Therefore, in our example above:
the dividend is
the divisor is
the quotient is
the remainder is
What is the remainder in the division problem below?
In a division with remainder problem,
the number we divide is called the dividend,
the number we divide by is called the divisor,
the whole number part of the result is called the quotient,
the amount left over is called the remainder.
In our example above, the remainder is
