Divider is a mathematical concept. In the division formula, the number after the divisor is called the divisor.

If ab=c(b≠0), the operation of finding another factor A by multiplying the product C and the factor B is division, which is marked as c÷b and pronounced as C divided by B (or B divided by C). Among them, c is called dividend, b is called divisor, and the result of a operation is called quotient.

Knowing the product of two factors and one of them, the operation of finding the other factor is called division.

Division of two numbers is also called the ratio of two numbers.
