Compatible Numbers
VocabularyA dividend is the number that is being divided or shared (the total number of items you are starting with).
A divisor is the number that divides the dividend. This is the number of ways something needs to be shared (groups). A quotient is the number, not including remainder, that results from dividing. In other words, this is the answer to the division problem without the remainder. Compatible numbers are numbers that are close in value to the actual number and easy to divide mentally when estimating. Notes |
