Front

What is the first step in long division?

Back

The first step is to see how many times the divisor can fit into the first part of the dividend.

Front

What do you do after finding how many times the divisor fits?

Back

Multiply the divisor by that number and write the result under the dividend.

Front

What is the purpose of subtracting in long division?

Back

Subtracting helps to find the remainder after dividing the dividend by the divisor.

Front

What is a remainder?
