Hello there,

I am a scientist and I am happy to help you understand the terminology for division. Division is a mathematical operation that involves splitting a larger quantity into equal parts. It is represented by the symbol "÷" or by using the word "divided by."

For example, if you have 10 apples and you want to share them equally among 2 friends, you would use division to figure out how many apples each friend will get. In this case, 10 ÷ 2 = 5, meaning each friend will get 5 apples.

I'm not sure what screenshot your friend sent you, but division can sometimes involve more complex numbers or equations. However, the basic concept remains the same - dividing a larger quantity into smaller equal parts.

I hope this helps to clarify the terminology for division. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Mahalo!
