Long Division Concepts and Techniques

The video tutorial explains how to perform long division using the traditional algorithm. It begins by setting up the division problem and proceeds through each step of the division process, finding each digit of the quotient. The tutorial emphasizes checking the difference after each subtraction to ensure accuracy. The final result is verified by reconstructing the original dividend using the quotient, divisor, and remainder.

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

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend.

• Write the division problem in long division form.

• Multiply the dividend by the divisor.

• Write the dividend and divisor in fraction form.

When considering the first digit of the dividend, what do you do if it is smaller than the divisor?

• Subtract the divisor from it.

• Consider the next digit of the dividend.

• Add the divisor to it.

• Multiply it by 10.

What is the next step after finding the first digit of the quotient?

• Divide the remainder by the divisor.

• Multiply the quotient by the divisor.

• Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

• Add the divisor to the dividend.
