Divisor

In mathematics, a divisor of a number is an integer that can be multiplied by another integer to produce the given number. In other words, a divisor divides the given number evenly, leaving no remainder.

Key Concepts:

Divisor: An integer that divides another integer evenly, leaving no remainder.
Dividend: The number that is being divided.
Quotient: The result of the division.
Remainder: The amount left over after the division.

Example:

Let's find the divisors of the number 12. The divisors of 12 are the numbers that divide 12 evenly.

Divisors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

As 12 can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 without leaving any remainder, these numbers are the divisors of 12.
