The number we divide by. Example: in 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 3 is the divisor. Divisor can also mean: a number that divides an integer exactly (no remainder).

Where is divisor located?

Divisor – the number that is dividing the dividend. It is located to the right of the division symbol.

How do you find the divisor of a number?

The number that is being divided (in this case, 15) is called the dividend, and the number that it is being divided by (in this case, 3) is called the divisor. The result of the division is the quotient. Notice how you can always switch the divisor and quotient and still have a true equation: 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
