What is a remainder in division?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the quotient using Partial Quotients Division?

Back

By repeatedly subtracting multiples of the divisor from the dividend and counting how many times you subtract.

What is the purpose of estimating the quotient in Partial Quotients Division?

Back

To make the division process easier by determining a reasonable starting point for subtraction.
