Answer:

You prove that the result is correct by multiplying the divisor by the quotient plus the remainder and verifying that this result matches the dividend.

Explanation:

The dividend is the amount you want to divide, the divisor is the amount you want to divide the dividend into, and the quotient is the answer after something has been divided.

For example 6 ÷ 3 = 2

6 is the Dividend, 3 is the divisor, and 2 is the quotient. Hope this helps.
