Partial Quotient

Front

What is the Partial Quotient method in division?

Back

The Partial Quotient method is a strategy for dividing numbers by repeatedly subtracting multiples of the divisor from the dividend until what remains is less than the divisor.

How do you calculate the quotient using the Partial Quotient method?

Back

To calculate the quotient using the Partial Quotient method, you divide the dividend by the divisor by subtracting multiples of the divisor and keeping track of how many times you subtract.

Front

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 the quotient in division?

Back

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

Front

What does the remainder represent in division?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the remainder using the Partial Quotient method?

Back

The remainder is found by subtracting the total of the multiples of the divisor that were subtracted from the dividend from the original dividend.

Front

What is an example of a division problem using the Partial Quotient method?

Back

An example is dividing 918 by 6, where you can subtract multiples of 6 (like 60, 600, etc.) from 918 until you reach a number less than 6.

Front

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

Back

The first step is to determine how many times the divisor can be subtracted from the dividend without going negative.

Front

What is the significance of estimating the quotient in the Partial Quotient method?

Back

Estimating the quotient helps to simplify the division process by allowing you to subtract larger multiples of the divisor initially.
