Introduction The simplest way of viewing division is in terms of quotition and partition: from the quotition perspective, means the number of 5s that must be added to get 20. In terms of partition, means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as , or . In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient.
