Division Strategies and Estimation Techniques

The video tutorial provides practice in dividing with two-digit numbers. It begins with solving 92 divided by 23, demonstrating a step-by-step approach with no remainder. The second example involves dividing 86 by 15, resulting in a remainder. The tutorial emphasizes estimation and trial and error as key strategies in division, highlighting the importance of adjusting calculations to find the correct quotient.
