The concept of dividers corresponds to the plural of the term dividermeanwhile, a divisor in its most general use calls that which has the mission, function of dividing or separating something. Thus, a bar, a wall, or a table, can have the function of a divider at the request of a space. This type of division is normally carried out with the mission of achieving greater privacy in a certain area of the house.
At the request of interior design, it turns out to be very common to use certain elements that fulfill a decorative function in a space, such as furniture, so that they also play a dividing role in it, according to the needs raised in that sense. .
On the other hand, the word divider is widely used in the field of math to refer to those numbers, values that are capable of dividing another number into equal parts.
We will see it better with an example… 12 is a divisor of 3 since 12/3 is equal to 4, which is an integer, meanwhile, 12 will not be a divisor of 5 because if we do that division it will give us a non-integer result: 2, 4.
In the division operation, the divisor will be that number that will be contained so many times in another that we call dividend.
The dividers in mathematics are certainly useful when it comes to having to group a certain number of elements or objects, in exactly equal parts, in a group and without any element or object being left alone or pivoting.
Let’s go back to the example of amounts that we offered lines above, now we have 12 pencils and the idea is to make packages with all that amount and that none of them are left out, then, to effectively comply with that instruction we must make 1 package of 12, 2 packs of six each, 3 packs of 4. In this way no element will be loose, this also allows us to appreciate that the number 1, 2 and 3 are divisors of 12.
It should be noted that the number 1 is always a divisor of any number and every number is divisible per se.
