In math, the dividend is the number that is being divided or distributed into a certain number of equal parts in a division problem. For example, in the division problem 20 ÷ 5 = 4, the number 20 is the dividend. The dividend is one of the four important parts of the division method, along with the divisor, quotient, and remainder. The divisor is the number that the dividend is divided by, and the quotient is the answer to the division problem. The remainder is the amount left over after the dividend has been divided as much as possible by the divisor. The dividend can be represented in different ways, such as in fraction notation or inside the long division symbol. The relation between the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder is given by the formula Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder.
