Division Worksheets

What is Division? Why is it Important?

Division is the process of splitting numbers into equal parts. It is the foundation for learning more challenging mathematical concepts like fractions and ratios. Each number in a division problem has a name: dividend, divisor, and quotient.

The number being divided is called the dividend. The divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided. The solution or answer to the problem is called the quotient. (It's also the number of times the divisor goes into the dividend.) Understanding how to multiply and divide whole numbers is a basic part of numeracy. It's an essential skill for standardized tests, and it is a lifelong skill.
