What is the first step in using the box method for long division?

• Multiply the divisor by the first digit of the dividend
  

• Draw a box around the division problem

How do you decide how many digits of the dividend to bring down in the box method?

• Bring down all digits of the dividend at once
  

• Bring down one digit at a time based on how large the divisor is
  

• Only bring down the first digit

• You do not need to bring down any digits

In the example shown, what is the divisor, and how does it relate to the number inside the box?

• The divisor is the first digit of the dividend and it goes inside the box
  

• The divisor is outside the box and it is used to divide the number inside the box
  

• The divisor is placed inside the box with the dividend
  

• The divisor is ignored in the box method

How do you determine the first number to put inside the box during the division process?

• The first number inside the box is the last digit of the divisor

• The first number is the largest number that can be divided by the divisor

• The first number is the dividend divided by the divisor

• The first number is found by trial and error

What is the purpose of writing the partial products inside the box as you divide?

• To show the steps taken in the division process

• To hide the division work from view

• To calculate the final dividend

• To subtract the dividend

How can you use the box method to check your final answer for accuracy?

• You can reverse the division by multiplying the quotient and divisor

• You check the number inside the box only

• You do not need to check the answer

• You subtract the dividend from the quotient
