Partial Quotient Method Concepts

This video tutorial from Mumu Math and Science introduces the partial quotient method for division, which simplifies multiplication by using numbers like 10 or 5. The video provides three examples: dividing 112 by 8, 984 by 12, and 1680 by 21, demonstrating the step-by-step process of using partial quotients. The method involves repeated subtraction and addition of partial results to find the final quotient. While it requires more subtraction steps, it is beneficial for those who struggle with multiplication tables. The video concludes by highlighting the method's advantages and encourages viewers to subscribe for more educational content.

What is the main advantage of the partial quotient method?

• It requires no subtraction.

• It uses simple multiplications like 10 or 5.

• It requires no multiplication.

• It is faster than traditional division.

In the first example, what is the result of 112 divided by 8?

• 12

• 14

• 16

• 18

What is the first step in the partial quotient method?

• Multiply the divisor by 2.

• Add the divisor to the dividend.

• Draw a line and think of a number to multiply.

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend.

In the second example, what is the first multiplication used?

• 12 * 15

• 12 * 20

• 12 * 5

• 12 * 10

What is the final result of 984 divided by 12 in the second example?

• 80

• 82

• 86

• 84

In the third example, what is the first multiplication used?

• 21 * 25

• 21 * 20

• 21 * 15

• 21 * 10

What is the result of 1680 divided by 21 in the third example?

• 84

• 78

• 80

• 82

What is a disadvantage of the partial quotient method mentioned in the video?

• It is difficult to understand.

• It requires memorizing multiplication tables.

• It requires a lot of subtraction.

• It takes longer than traditional division.

What is the purpose of drawing a line in the partial quotient method?

• To mark the beginning of subtraction.

• To indicate the end of the problem.

• To organize the calculations.

• To separate the dividend and divisor.

What is the final step in the partial quotient method?

• Multiply the results.

• Add the partial quotients.

• Subtract the divisor.

• Divide the remainder.
