If two hundred fifty-two is dividend and six is quotient. what is the divisor

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! ☻
