Front

What does the term 'divisor' mean?

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, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

Front

What is a 'remainder' 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 write the answer to a division problem with a remainder?

Back

You write the quotient followed by 'R' and then the remainder, for example, 10 R2.

Front

What is the first step in dividing a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

If the divisor is larger than the first digit of the dividend, you include the next digit from the dividend to form a larger number.

Front

What is the process of estimating the quotient before dividing?

Back

Estimating the quotient involves rounding the dividend and divisor to make the division easier to calculate.

Front

What is the importance of checking your work after division?

Back

Checking your work helps ensure that the quotient and remainder are correct by multiplying the divisor by the quotient and adding the remainder.
