'''Division''' is the [[mathematical]] [[function]] in which a value, the [[dividend]], is seen in a specific conjunction with another value, the [[divisor]]. The relationship between them, which is the value by which the divisor must be [[multiplied]] to yield the dividend, is referred to as the [[quotient]]. Division yields a non-[[linear]] change in value.
