Front

What is the divisor in a division problem?

Front

What is the quotient in a division problem?

Back

The result of the division, or how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

Front

What is a remainder?

Back

The amount left over when a number cannot be divided equally.

Front

How do you find a partial quotient?

Back

By estimating how many times the divisor can fit into the dividend and subtracting that multiple from the dividend.

Front

If you divide 78 by 6 using partial quotients, what could be a good first guess?

Back

10, because 6 times 10 is 60, which is close to 78.

Front

What is the first step in using partial quotients?

Back

Choose a number that is easy to multiply with the divisor and subtract it from the dividend.

Front

Back

13, with a remainder of 0.

Front

If you have a remainder of 0, what does that mean?

Back

It means the dividend is exactly divisible by the divisor.
