Partial Quotients Practice

Front

What is the Partial Quotients method in division?

Back

The Partial Quotients method is a strategy for dividing numbers that involves repeatedly subtracting multiples of the divisor from the dividend until what remains is less than the divisor. It allows for a more intuitive understanding of division.

What is a dividend in division?

Back

The dividend is the number that is being divided in a division operation.

Front

What is a divisor in division?

Back

The divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided.

Front

What is a quotient in division?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the dividend in a division problem?

Back

The dividend is typically the first number in a division expression, placed before the division sign or symbol.

How do you identify the divisor in a division problem?

Back

The divisor is usually the second number in a division expression, placed after the division sign or symbol.

Front

What is the relationship between dividend, divisor, and quotient?

Back

The relationship can be expressed as: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder.

Front

What is a remainder in division?

Back

The remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor.

Front

How can you check your division answer?

Back

You can check your division answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder. The result should equal the original dividend.

Front

What is the first step in using the Partial Quotients method?

Back

The first step is to estimate how many times the divisor can fit into the dividend and write that number down.
