What term is used to describe the answer to a division problem?

Difference
Product
Quotient
Sum

The correct answer is: Difference

The correct term used to describe the answer to a division problem is "quotient." When you divide one number by another, the result you obtain is called the quotient. This is a fundamental concept in arithmetic, where you are essentially determining how many times the divisor fits into the dividend. In contrast, "difference" refers to the result of a subtraction problem, "product" pertains to the result of a multiplication problem, and "sum" is the term used for the result of an addition problem. Each of these terms defines a specific operation in mathematics, making it essential to use the correct terminology when discussing operations and their results.
