What is a quotient in division?

Back

A quotient is the result of the division operation, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

Front

How do you set up a long division problem?

Back

To set up a long division problem, write the dividend under the long division symbol and the divisor outside, to the left.

Front

What is the first step in long division?

Back

The first step is to determine how many times the divisor can fit into the leading digits of the dividend.

Front

What do you do after finding the initial quotient in long division?

Back

After finding the initial quotient, multiply the divisor by this quotient and subtract the result from the leading digits of the dividend.

Front

What is the purpose of bringing down a digit in long division?

Back

Bringing down a digit allows you to create a new number to continue the division process.

Front

What do you do if the divisor is larger than the current number in long division?

Back

If the divisor is larger than the current number, write a 0 in the quotient and bring down the next digit.

Front

What is a remainder in division?

Back

A remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend cannot be evenly divided by the divisor.
