What is divided by what, what is quotient, and why is remainder?
There are two ways to divide two numbers-divide and divide.

When one number is divided by another, the first number is the dividend and the last number is the divisor.

If one number "divides" another number, the first number is the divisor and the last number is the dividend.

Mathematical term

In a division formula, the dividend is divided by the divisor = quotient+remainder, and then the quotient × divisor+remainder = dividend is deduced.

Quanshang

When the number A is divided by the number B (non-zero), its quotient is called complete quotient. For example, 9÷3=3, and 3 is the complete quotient.

Incomplete quotient

If the number A is divided by the number B (non-zero), the quotient obtained is incomplete. For example: 10 ÷ 3 = 3... 1, where 3 is an incomplete quotient.

In the division of integers, there are only two situations: divisible and non-divisible. When it is not divisible, it will produce a remainder, so the remainder problem is very important in primary school mathematics.
