Mastering Long Division with Two-Digit Divisors

Mrs. C explains how to solve long division problems with two-digit divisors. She introduces key terms like dividend, divisor, and quotient, and outlines the five steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, and repeat. Two example problems are solved, one with a remainder and one without, demonstrating the process and how to handle remainders.

What is the term used for the number that is being divided?

• Divisor

• Quotient

• Dividend

• Product

What is the first step in solving a long division problem?

• Subtract

• Multiply

• Divide

• Bring Down

What is crucial to check after subtracting in a division problem?

• If the result is a prime number

• If the result is greater than the divisor

• If the result is less than the divisor

• If the result is zero

What should you do before moving on from the subtraction step?

• Multiply again

• Check if the result is smaller than the divisor

• Bring down the next digit immediately

• Start over

How is a remainder commonly represented in a quotient?

• As a percentage

• As an exponent

• With the letter r

• As a decimal

How can a remainder be represented other than using the letter 'r'?

• As a fraction

• As a percentage

• As a decimal

• As an exponent

What do you do if the first digit of the dividend is too small to be divided by the divisor?

• Skip the digit

• Look at the next digit

• Multiply instead

• End the problem

When solving a division problem with a larger divisor, what is a helpful strategy?

• Skipping the step

• Multiplying first

• Estimation

• Using a calculator

What indicates that you are done with the division process?

• When you have repeated the steps five times

• When the divisor is larger than the dividend

• When there are no more digits left to bring down

• When you reach a remainder of zero

What is the correct way to write the quotient when there is no remainder?

• As a whole number

• As a fraction

• With the letter r

• As a decimal
