Long Division Concepts and Steps

Maria teaches how to perform long division for Grade 4 students using the example of 105 divided by 3. She explains the setup of the division problem, the step-by-step process of dividing, and how to find the quotient without a remainder.

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

• Place the dividend above the bracket.

• Place the divisor outside the bracket.

• Place the divisor inside the bracket.

• Place the dividend outside the bracket.

When checking if the divisor can go into the first digit of the dividend, what should you do if it cannot?

• Add a zero to the quotient.

• Change the divisor.

• Move to the next digit of the dividend.

• Subtract the divisor from the first digit.

How many times does 3 go into 10?

• 2 times

• 5 times

• 3 times

• 4 times

What do you do after placing the first number in the quotient?

• Add the divisor to the dividend.

• Multiply the divisor by the quotient number.

• Divide the dividend by the divisor again.

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend.

What is the next step after bringing down the next digit in long division?

• Subtract the new number from the divisor.

• Divide the new number by the divisor.

• Multiply the digits.

• Add the digits together.

What does it mean if there is nothing left after the final subtraction in long division?

• There is no remainder.

• The quotient is incomplete.

• The division is incorrect.

• There is a remainder.
