The Quotient in 68 divided by 5 is 13 remainder 3
<h2>Further Explanation;
</h2><h3>Mathematical operations </h3>
- There are four major operations in mathematics which includes, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Addition and subtraction are complementary operations such that subtraction is the opposite of addition.
- On the other hand division is the inverse of multiplication.
<h3>Division
</h3>
It is one of the operations in mathematics.
Division is the opposite of multiplication.
It is symbolized as a slash, or a line with two dots one below and the other above the line.
Division consists of four parts
- Divisor
- Dividend
- Quotient
- Remainder
Dividend
This is the number that is divided
Divisor
It is the number that is being divided by the divisor
Quotient
Quotient is the result obtained when a divisor is divided by a dividend.
Remainder
This is the number that is left over after division
For example;
In the case of 68 divided by 5
68 is the dividend
5 is the divisor
Using long method:
Step 1: The divisor 5 is put on the left side while the dividend 68 on the right side
Therefore;
68 / 5 = 13 remainder 6
Thus
13 is the quotient and 6 is the remainder
