Translation guide
In mathematics, a divisor is a number that divides another number evenly. This guide covers how to express this concept in Japanese, including common terms and usage in arithmetic and algebra.
The number that divides another number in a division operation, especially in integer division without remainder.
The standard term for a divisor in the context of integer divisibility. It refers to a number that divides another number exactly, leaving no remainder.
The divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.
Refers to the divisor in a division operation (dividend ÷ divisor = quotient). More formal and used in arithmetic contexts.
In division, the number being divided is called the dividend, and the number dividing it is called the divisor.
A plain, everyday way to say 'the number that divides'. Used in elementary math or casual explanations.
In this problem, the divisor is 3.
The bottom part of a fraction, also known as the denominator.
The denominator of a fraction. While 'divisor' can sometimes refer to the denominator, in Japanese it's specifically 分母.
The denominator of a fraction indicates how many parts the whole is divided into.
約数 is used when discussing factors and divisibility (e.g., 'divisors of 12'), while 除数 is used in the context of the division algorithm (dividend ÷ divisor = quotient). In many everyday math contexts, they overlap, but 約数 emphasizes the integer factor relationship.
Find all divisors of 12.
You cannot calculate when the divisor is 0.
