• Division by zero is undefined
• Dividing a number by 1 gives the same number
• Dividing a number by itself gives 1 (except zero)
• Division is the inverse operation of multiplication

4. Using the Calculator

Instructions: Enter any two numbers in the dividend and divisor fields. The calculator will compute the quotient. For decimal results, the calculator rounds to 4 decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
