If you do not know the meaning of a word, look it up in a dictionary. Some mathematics books have glossaries or indexes in the back that can help you locate words.Some terms have more than one meaning even in mathematics. The word divisor can mean the number divided by in a division problem. (In 12÷5=2.4, 5 is the divisor. ) But divisor also means a number that divides another with a zero remainder. For example, 7 is a divisor of 21. In this situation divisor has the same meaning as factor.
