Question 1

What do dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder mean in $a \div b$?

Accepted Answer

Dividend: number being divided ($a$). Divisor: number you divide by ($b$). Quotient: result ($q$). Remainder: leftover ($r$) so $a=bq+r$ with $0\le r<b$ (for $b>0$).

A partial product is the product of the multiplicand and one digit of the multiplier (with the correct place-value shift).
