What is a Divisor?
A divisor is a number that divides another number evenly without leaving a remainder. In other words, when you divide one number by another, the divisor is the number that divides the original number without leaving a remainder.
Finding Divisors
To find the divisors of a number, you can start by listing all the numbers that divide the given number without leaving a remainder. For example, the divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12, because these numbers can divide 12 without leaving a remainder.

Connections to the Grade 6 Focal Points (NCTM)
Number and Operations: Students' work in dividing fractions shows them that they can express the result of dividing two whole numbers as a fraction (viewed as parts of a whole). Students then extend their work in grade 5 with division of whole numbers to give mixed number and decimal solutions to division problems with whole numbers. They recognize that ratio tables not only derive from rows in the multiplication table but also connect with equivalent fractions. Students distinguish multiplicative comparisons from additive comparisons.
