- 3Decimal SystemThe U.S. base 10 numbering system that uses the 10 single-digit numbers shown on a calculator
- 4DifferenceThe resulting answer from a subtraction problem. Example: Minuend less subtrahend equals difference. 215 - 15 = 200
- 5DividendNumber in the division process that is being divided by another. Example: 15 / 5, in which 15 is the dividend
- 6DivisorNumber in the division process that is dividing into another. Example: 15 / 5, in which 5 is the divisor
