168 Arrow-Puffin-3_Semester-1 MathsDIVISIONThere are 15 students in a class.The teacher divides them into three groups. In each group there are 5 students.We represent this as:15 %u00f7 3 = 5 and it is read as 15 divided by 3 is equal to 5. The symbol for division is %u00f7 . Here 15 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor and 5 is the quotient.Dividing a number by zero is meaningless.The number which gets divided is called the dividend (d).The number which divides the dividend is called the divisor (d).The number which tells you how many times the division was carried out is called the quotient (Q).PROPERTIES OF DIVISION%u2022 A number (other than zero) divided by 1 gives the number itself as the quotient. Example : 15 %u00f7 1 = 15 217 %u00f7 1 = 217 800 %u00f7 1 = 800%u2022 Zero divided by a number other than zero, gives 0 as the quotient. Example : 0 %u00f7 23 = 0 0 %u00f7 117 = 0 0 %u00f7 5 = 0%u2022 A number (other than zero) divided by itself gives 1 as the quotient. Example : 8 %u00f7 8 = 1 125 %u00f7 125 = 1 12 %u00f7 12 = 1Let's Understand Conceptual UnderstandingLet's Understand Conceptual Understanding
