Question

use the words from the word - bank to complete each sentence. word - bank: area, common factor, dividend, greatest common factor, inverse property of multiplication, least common multiple, multiplicative inverse, prime factorization, quotient, reciprocal. 1. the result when one number is divided by another is called the __. 2. the is the largest of the common factors for two or more numbers. 3. in the mathematical sentence 50÷5 = 10, the value of 5 is the . 4. the is the smallest multiple that is common for two or more numbers. 5. in the mathematical sentence 21÷3 = 7, the value of 21 is the . 6. two numbers that have a product of 1 are called __.

Explanation:

1. By the definition of division, the result of dividing one number by another is the quotient.
2. The greatest common factor is the largest of the common factors for two or more numbers.
3. In a division - like \(a\div b = c\), \(b\) is the divisor. Here in \(50\div5 = 10\), 5 is the divisor.
4. The least common multiple is the smallest multiple that is common for two or more numbers.
5. In \(a\div b = c\), \(a\) is the dividend. In \(21\div3 = 7\), 21 is the dividend.
6. Two numbers whose product is 1 are called reciprocals.

Answer:

1. quotient
2. greatest common factor
3. divisor
4. least common multiple
5. dividend
6. reciprocals
