In division, a dividend is divided by a divisor to find a quotient. NOTE: Sometimes the multiplicand and the multiplier are both called factors. In the following equation, 6 is the multiplicand, 3 is the multiplier, and 18 is the product.
In multiplication, a multiplicand and a multiplier are multiplied to find a product. In the following equation, 9 is the minuend, 3 is the subtrahend, and 6 is the difference.
In subtraction, a subtrahend is subtracted from a minuend to find a difference. NOTE: Sometimes both the augend and addend are called addends. In the following equation, 6 is the augend, 3 is the addend, and 9 is the sum:
In addition, an augend and an addend are added to find a sum. These terms include augend, addend, sum, subtrahend, minuend, difference, multiplicand, multiplier, product, factors, dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder. Here are the terms used in equations for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
