गणित के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: divisor (जिससे भाग दें, भाजक), dividend (जिसे भाग दें, भाज्य), quotient (परिणाम, भागफल), remainder (शेष), factor (जो दूसरी संख्या को पूरा भाग दे, गुणनखंड), multiple (जो दूसरी संख्या से पूरा विभाजित हो, गुणज), HCF (महत्तम समापवर्तक) और LCM (लघुत्तम समापवर्त्य)।

General knowledge
Maths, asked very often: in division, dividend ÷ divisor = quotient, with a remainder; the relation is dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder.
गणित में यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: भाग में भाज्य ÷ भाजक = भागफल, शेषफल के साथ; संबंध है भाज्य = भाजक × भागफल + शेषफल।
