Math Terms Division

Introduction to math terms division:
In mathematics, especially in elementary arithmetic, division (÷) is the arithmetic operation that is the inverse of multiplication.

Specifically, if c times b equals a, written: C = b x a

where b is not zero, then a divided by b equals c, written: `a/b = c`

For instance, `6/3 = 2`

since  2 x 3 = 6

In the above expression, a is called the dividend, b the divisor and c the quotient. I like to share this Simplify Algebraic Expressions with you all through my article.


Math terms division:


Math term division type -1:

Division of 2 numbers with the same sign should be ‘+’ ve (positive sign) sign.

‘+’ve (Positive number) ÷’+’ve ( positive number) = ‘+’ve ( positive number)
‘-‘ve (Negative number) ÷ ‘-‘ ve (negative number) = =’+’ ve (positive number)
Math term division type - 2:

Division of 2 numbers with different signs should be ‘-’ve negative

‘+’ve (Positive number) ÷(‘-‘ve negative number) = ‘-‘ve (negative number)
‘-‘ve (Negative number) ÷ ‘+’ve (positive number) = ‘-‘ve (negative number)
Examples on math terms division :

Ex : 42 ÷ 7 = 6 (same signs)

(-26) ÷ (-2) = 13 (same signs)

6 ÷ (-2) = -3 (different signs)

(-10) ÷ 10 = -1 (different signs)

Math Terms Division on Dividing Variable:
In this operation division represents dividing the variables based on the presence of values.

Ex: Solve the following division: 54 ÷ p, given that p = -6

Solution:54 ÷ p

Substitute p = -6,

= 54 ÷ (-6)

= -9 (dissimilar signs).

Understanding Sig Fig Rules is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Math Terms Division Of Dividing Decimal:


Math terms division for solving decimal problems:

Math term division of decimals type - 1:To create the decimal divisor as whole number by changing the decimal point to the right side.
Math term divison of decimals type - 2:To change the same decimal point in the dividend to the right side to create as whole number
Math term  division of type - 3:After divide the new dividend or whole number by new divisor or whole number


Ex:Divide the following decimal function:  24.24 ÷ 0.20

Solution:   24.24 ÷ 0.20 = `24.24/0.20`

= `242.4/2`  (Take the decimal divisor as whole number)

= `2424/20`  (Take the decimal dividend as whole number)

= 121.2 (Divide the new dividend by new divisor).
