Dividend
In mathematics, a dividend is a number that is divided by another number. In the division equation dividend ÷ divisor = quotient, the dividend is the number being divided. It is the total quantity or amount that is to be divided into equal parts.
Example:
If we have 15 ÷ 3, then 15 is the dividend. The number 3 is the divisor, and the quotient is the result of the division, which in this case is 5.
Study Guide:
- Understanding the Concept: Make sure to understand the basic concept of division and how the dividend, divisor, and quotient relate to each other.
- Practice Problems: Solve various division problems to get comfortable with identifying the dividend in different scenarios.
- Real-life Examples: Look for real-life examples of division and identify the dividends in those examples. For instance, if you have 20 cookies and want to divide them among 4 friends, 20 would be the dividend in this scenario.
- Word Problems: Practice solving division word problems to understand how dividends are used in practical situations.
Understanding the concept of dividends is crucial for mastering division and other related mathematical operations.

Number and Operations (NCTM)
Understand meanings of operations and how they relate to one another.
Use the associative and commutative properties of addition and multiplication and the distributive property of multiplication over addition to simplify computations with integers, fractions, and decimals.
Connections to the Grade 6 Focal Points (NCTM)
Algebra: Students use the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to show that two expressions are equivalent. They also illustrate properties of operations by showing that two expressions are equivalent in a given context (e.g., determining the area in two different ways for a rectangle whose dimensions are x + 3 by 5). Sequences, including those that arise in the context of finding possible rules for patterns of figures or stacks of objects, provide opportunities for students to develop formulas.
