Step-by-step explanation: The answer to a division problem is called the quotient. Let's look at an example of how we would use the word.

Divide the following

610 รท 5 = 122

*I have attached the work for this in the image provided.*

Since 122 is the answer for the division problem, we call it the quotient.

The answer to a division problem is called a ''quotient''. The number that is being divided is called the ''dividend'' and the number that is dividing the dividend is called the ''divisor''.
