1, the operation order is different: in "6 divided by 3", 6 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor, and the operation result is 2. In "6 divided by 3", 3 is the dividend, 6 is the divisor, and the result is 0.5. It can be seen that the operation order of the two is opposite.
2. Different representations of mathematical symbols: In the representation of mathematical symbols, "6 divided by 3" can be expressed as 6÷3 or 6/3, while "6 divided by 3" should be expressed as 3÷6 or 3/6. Therefore, when writing or reading mathematical expressions, we need to pay attention to distinguish these two different division operations.
3. Different result values: Due to different operation sequences and mathematical symbols, the operation results of "6 divided by 3" and "6 divided by 3" are also different. The former result is 2 and the latter result is 0.5. Therefore, in mathematical calculation, it is necessary to be clear about the division operation mode adopted to avoid getting wrong results.
