The dromedary, or one-humped camel, was described by Linnaeus in 1758. There are no true wild dromedaries in the world today-they were domesticated between 4,000 and 2,000 B.C.E. for travel, meat and milk, and running, and became extinct in the wild around 2000 years ago.
Dividends and divisors are the two key ingredients that yield the quotient, or answer, to a division problem. The dividend is the number being divided, while the divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided. In other words, given aÃ·b, a is the dividend and b is the divisor.
14.7 Ã· 14.7 = 1. Remainder. If the answer to a division problem is not a whole number, the leftovers are called the remainder. For example, if you were to try and divide 20 by 3 you would discover that 3 does not divide evenly into 20. The closest numbers to 20 that 3 can divide into are 18 and 21. You pick the closest number that 3 divides into that is smaller than 20. That is 18.
