Explanation:

1.

Step1: Recall division terms

In division, dividend ÷ divisor = quotient. The number divided into is the dividend, but wait, no—wait, the number being divided is dividend, the number we divide by is divisor? Wait, no: "the number divided into the other number"—wait, if we have \( a \div b \), \( b \) is the divisor (the number we divide by), and \( a \) is the dividend (the number being divided). Wait, the question is "the number divided into the other number"—so if we divide \( \text{dividend} \) by \( \text{divisor} \), then the divisor is the number we divide into the dividend? Wait, maybe I got it reversed. Let's think: \( \text{dividend} \div \text{divisor} = \text{quotient} \). So "the number divided into the other number"—the divisor is the one we divide into the dividend? Wait, no, the dividend is the number being divided (split into parts), and the divisor is the number of parts. Wait, the question is "In a division problem, the number divided into the other number is the ______". So if we have \( \text{dividend} \div \text{divisor} \), then the divisor is the number we divide into the dividend? Wait, maybe the answer is "divisor". Let's confirm: divisor is the number by which another number (the dividend) is divided. So the number divided into (i.e., the number we use to divide) the other number (dividend) is the divisor.

Step2: Match with options

The options include "Divisor", so that's the answer.

Step1: Recall shape definitions

A rectangle is a two - dimensional shape with four sides, where both pairs of opposite sides are equal in length, and all angles are right angles.

Step2: Match with options

Among the options, "Rectangle" fits this description.

Step1: Recall force definition

Force is defined as a push or pull on an object (or a surface, in a general sense).

Step2: Match with options

The option "Force" matches this definition.

Answer:

Divisor
