Answer 2

Answer:

For $\frac{4}{12}$, divisor is 12 and for $\frac{1}{3}$, divisor is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend is a number which we divides , divisor is a number which divides the dividend and quotient is a number which we get on dividing dividend by the divisor .

In fraction of form $\frac{a}{b}$, a is numerator and b is denominator.

Basically in such fractions, numerator is the divident and denominator is the divisor. Here, a is the divident and b is the divisor.

Two fractions are said to be equivalent if their simplest form is same .

Fractions $\frac{4}{12}\,,\,\frac{1}{3}$ are said to be equilvalent fractions as their simplest form is same i.e $\frac{1}{3}$ .

So, if we talk about $\frac{4}{12}$, divisor is 12 and dividend is 4 .

In fraction $\frac{1}{3}$, divisor is 3 and dividend is 1 .
