Changes

'''Division''' is the [[mathematics|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 [[multiplication|multiplied]] to yield the dividend, is referred to as the quotient. Division yields a non-linear change in value.

Division by [[zero]] is not permitted and this has unfortunately been one of the two most frequent causes of serious mechanical or construction errors (the other being wrong [[unit]]s).
