⓵ Let’s go over the terminology and the equation that goes with it :
A “dividend” is divided by the “divisor” and is equal to the “quotient”.
So : Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient
⓶ Now that we know this, replace the words in the equation with their value that is given :
252 ÷ Divisor = 6
Let’s just say for the sake of this problem that × is the Divisor.
252 ÷ × = 6
⓷ Now that we have our equation, all you have to do is solve it!
→ 252 ÷ × = 6
→ 252 ÷ 6 = ×
→ 42 = ×
↠ Answer : The divisor is 42.
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻
