This document defines key vocabulary terms used in 4th grade math division problems: the dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number dividing the dividend, the quotient is the solution to the division problem, and the remainder is any leftover number that does not result in a whole number quotient. An example of finding a quotient with a remainder is provided.

1. 4th Grade Math Vocabulary
Division
DividendThe number that is being divided.
In the problem 4 ÷ 2, four is the dividend.
DivisorThe number that another number is
being divided by. In the problem 3 ÷ 5, five
is the divisor.
QuotientThe solution to a division problem.
For the equation 8 ÷ 4 = 2, two is the
quotient.
RemainderA number left over after solving
a division problem. In the problem 13 ÷ 3,
three goes into 13 four times (because 3 x 4
= 12). However, there is still one number -
or remainder (R) - left over. The answer is 4
R1.
