Basic Divisibility Fc8159
1. Let's start by understanding some basic math words you mentioned.
2. **Integer**: An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. For example, $-3$, $0$, and $7$ are integers.
3. **Divisor**: A divisor is a number that divides another number exactly without leaving a remainder. For example, $3$ is a divisor of $12$ because $12 \div 3 = 4$ with no remainder.
4. **Quotient**: The quotient is the result you get when you divide one number by another. For example, in $12 \div 3 = 4$, the quotient is $4$.
5. **Divisible**: A number $a$ is divisible by another number $b$ if when you divide $a$ by $b$, the remainder is zero. For example, $15$ is divisible by $5$ because $15 \div 5 = 3$ with no remainder.
6. To summarize: If $b$ divides $a$ exactly, then $b$ is a divisor of $a$, $a$ is divisible by $b$, and the quotient is the number you get after dividing.
7. Example: Is $20$ divisible by $4$?
- Divide $20$ by $4$: $20 \div 4 = 5$.
- Since the remainder is $0$, $20$ is divisible by $4$.
- Here, $4$ is the divisor, and $5$ is the quotient.
This should help you understand these terms better!
