WHAT DOES DIVIDED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Division (mathematics)

In mathematics, especially in elementary arithmetic, division is an arithmetic operation. Specifically, if b times c equals a, written: a = b × c where b is not zero, then a divided by b equals c, written: a ÷ b = c For instance, 6 ÷ 3 = 2 since 3 × 2 = 6 In the expression a ÷ b = c, a is called the dividend or numerator, b the divisor or denominator and the result c is called the quotient. Conceptually, division describes two distinct but related settings. Partitioning involves taking a set of size a and forming b groups that are equal in size. The size of each group formed, c, is the quotient of a and b. Quotative division involves taking a set of size a and forming groups of size b. The number of groups of this size that can be formed, c, is the quotient of a and b. Teaching division usually leads to the concept of fractions being introduced to school pupils.
