Long Division

What is long division?

• A method for dividing two numbers to find the quotient and remainder.

• A technique for multiplying large numbers quickly.

• A way to add fractions with different denominators.

• A process for finding the square root of a number.

What is a quotient in division?

• The quotient is the result of the division operation, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

• The quotient is the number added to the dividend during division.

• The quotient is the number subtracted from the divisor in division.

• The quotient is the total amount divided by the number of parts.

What is the purpose of estimating in long division?

• To find the exact quotient of the division

• To quickly determine how many times the divisor can fit into the dividend

• To eliminate the need for division altogether

• To make the dividend larger than the divisor

What is the significance of the order of operations in long division?

• It allows for faster calculations by skipping steps.

• It ensures that each step in long division is performed correctly, leading to an accurate quotient and remainder.

• It is only important for addition and subtraction, not division.

• It helps in memorizing multiplication tables more effectively.

How do you set up a long division problem?

• Write the dividend under the long division symbol and the divisor outside of it.

• Write the divisor under the long division symbol and the dividend outside of it.

• Multiply the dividend by the divisor before starting the division.

• Add the dividend and divisor together before setting up the problem.

What does 'R' stand for in division results?

• R stands for ratio

• R stands for remainder

• R stands for result

• R stands for remainder value
