Short Division

The video tutorial explains how to perform long division by dividing a number by a one-digit divisor. It outlines the four main steps: dividing the dividend by the divisor, multiplying the quotient by the divisor, subtracting the result from the dividend, and bringing down the next digit. The tutorial also introduces short division as a quicker method, especially useful when the divisor is a one-digit number. An example is provided, demonstrating the division of 2150 by 5, resulting in a quotient of 430 with no remainder. The importance of knowing multiplication tables and quick subtraction is emphasized.

What is the first step in the long division process?

• Bringing down the next digit

• Subtracting the result from the dividend

• Dividing the dividend by the divisor

• Multiplying the divisor by the quotient

Why is short division considered a quicker method?

• It uses a calculator

• It doesn't involve subtraction

• It only requires writing the quotient digits

• It skips the multiplication step

In the example of dividing 2150 by 5, why do we take the first two digits of the dividend?

• To make the division easier

• Because 2 is smaller than 5

• To avoid a remainder

• To simplify the multiplication

What is the first quotient digit when dividing 21 by 5?

• 5

• 4

• 6

• 3

What do you do with the remainder after dividing 21 by 5?

• Add it to the next dividend digit

• Subtract it from the quotient

• Multiply it by the divisor

• Ignore it

What is the final quotient when dividing 2150 by 5?

• 450

• 440

• 430

• 420

What is the remainder when dividing 2150 by 5?

• 5

• 2

• 0

• 1
