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

Front

What is the first step in long division?

Back

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

Front

How do you handle a situation where the divisor is larger than the dividend?

Back

If the divisor is larger than the dividend, the quotient is 0, and you can write the dividend as the remainder.

Front

What is the process of bringing down a number in long division?

Back

Bringing down a number involves taking the next digit of the dividend and placing it next to the current remainder to form a new number for the next division step.

Front

What does it mean to multiply in long division?

Back

In long division, multiplying refers to taking the quotient from the previous step and multiplying it by the divisor to find how much to subtract from the current dividend.
