Remember, 'divisor' is used in division, one of the four basic arithmetic operations.

Math Operations

'Divisor' should not be confused with 'dividend', which is the number being divided.

Not a Dividend

Use 'divisor' to discuss whether one number can be evenly divided by another.

In electronics, 'divisor' often refers to components that divide voltage or current.

'Divisor' is used in the design of circuits where signal or power levels need adjustment.

The term can refer to a mathematical principle applied in a circuit, not just a physical component.
