TermDefinitionExample
DivisionThe act of splitting a number into equal groups. It's like fair sharing.20 apples shared among 5 friends is a division problem: 20 รท 5.
DividendThe total number that you are dividing. It's the big number you start with.In 18 รท 3 = 6, the dividend is 18.
DivisorThe number you are dividing by. It tells you how many equal groups to make.In 18 รท 3 = 6, the divisor is 3.
QuotientThe answer to a division problem. It tells you how many are in each group.In 18 รท 3 = 6, the quotient is 6.
Fact FamilyA group of related math facts that use the same three numbers.For the numbers 4, 5, and 20, the fact family is: 4 ร 5 = 20, 5 ร 4 = 20, 20 รท 4 = 5, and 20 รท 5 = 4.

Core Formulas
The Inverse Operation Rule
If a \times b = c, then c \div a = b and c \div b = a
Use this rule to solve division problems by thinking of the related multiplication fact. It's the most powerful division trick!
The Rule of One
a \div 1 = a
Any number divided by 1 is always that same number. If you put 8 cookies into 1 group, you still have 8 cookies in that group.
The 'Number Divided by Itself' Rule
a \div a = 1
Any number (except zero) divided by itself is always 1. If you have 8 cookies and 8 friends, each friend gets 1 cookie.
