For an expression to be divisible by another algebraic expression the divisor should be a factor of the dividend.
For an expression to be divisible by another algebraic expression the divisor should be a factor of the dividend.
Dividend=Divisor×Quotient+Remainder. If an expression is divisible by another algebraic expression the remainder is 0.
So, dividend is the product of divisor and quotient. Therefore, divisor and quotient are the factors of dividend.
