Long Division Techniques for 4-Digit Dividends

This video tutorial explains the process of long division using the traditional algorithm. It covers three examples: dividing 1968 by 6, 1518 by 3, and 2629 by 4. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using friendly numbers and the 'dirty monkeys smell bad' acronym to remember the division steps. It also demonstrates how to handle remainders and verify the results by multiplying the quotient by the divisor.
