Mastering the Basics of Long Division

This video tutorial guides viewers through the process of long division using the example of 1,472 divided by 6. It assumes prior knowledge of basic multiplication and division facts. The tutorial is divided into cycles, each focusing on a part of the dividend, and demonstrates how to set up the problem, find the focus, divide, multiply, and subtract to find the quotient and remainder. The video encourages viewers to practice alongside and provides links to additional resources for further learning.

What is the first step in setting up a long division problem?

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

• Draw the rooftop symbol and place the dividend underneath

• Write the divisor on the right

• Multiply the first digit by the divisor

What should you do if the first digit of the dividend is less than the divisor?

• Pull down the next digit to form a new focus

• Start subtracting immediately

• Move to the next digit

• End the division process

What is the result of dividing 14 by 6 in the context of long division?

• 2 remainder 0

• 3 remainder 2

• 2 remainder 2

• 2 remainder 4

After dividing the focus by the divisor, what is the next step?

• Add the divisor to the focus

• Multiply the quotient by the divisor and write it under the focus

• Divide the next focus

• Pull down the next digit

What do you do after subtracting in the long division process?

• Multiply the remainder by the divisor

• Add the divisor to the remainder

• End the division process

• Repeat the division with the new focus

How do you handle a remainder that is less than the divisor during long division?

• Ignore the remainder

• Pull down the next digit to form a new focus

• Add the remainder to the quotient

• Restart the division process

What is the purpose of pulling down digits in long division?

• To form a new focus when the current one is less than the divisor

• To increase the divisor

• To end the division cycle

• To subtract from the quotient

What is the final remainder when dividing 1,472 by 6?

• 1

• 2

• 4

• 3

What is the quotient when 1,472 is divided by 6?

• 244 remainder 4

• 246 remainder 1

• 245 remainder 2

• 245 remainder 3
