• It helps in solving quadratic equations.

• It is used in calculating derivatives.

• It simplifies the process of factoring.

What is the first step in the long division process described in the video?

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend.

• Multiply the divisor by the first term.

• Divide the first term of the dividend by the divisor.

• Add the divisor to the dividend.

When dividing 23 by 18, what is the next step after realizing it doesn't divide evenly?

• Divide 23 by 6.

• Subtract 18 from 23.

• Multiply 18 by 2.

• Bring down the next number.

What should you do when the divisor does not divide into the current number?

• Bring down the next number.

• Subtract the divisor from the current number.

• Add a zero to the quotient.

• Multiply the divisor by a smaller number.

What indicates that you have reached the end of the division process?

• The divisor is larger than the current number.

• The dividend is completely divided.

• The quotient is a whole number.

• The remainder is zero.
