Division Concepts and Techniques

This video tutorial teaches long division with three-digit divisors. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by estimating how many times the divisor fits into the dividend. The lesson then demonstrates calculating the quotient using multiplication and subtraction, handling remainders, and concludes with the final steps of the division process. The example used is dividing 367,992 by 538, resulting in a quotient of 684.

What is the first step in solving a long division problem with a three-digit divisor?

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

• Add the divisor to the dividend

• Estimate the quotient

• Multiply the divisor by 10

How do you determine how many times 538 fits into 367,000?

• By multiplying the divisor

• By adding the divisor repeatedly

• By estimating using a rounded number

• By dividing directly

What is the purpose of estimating the quotient in long division?

• To ensure accuracy

• To make the divisor smaller

• To speed up the process

• To avoid using a calculator

What is the result of 538 times 6?

• 3,228

• 3,000

• 3,500

• 3,600

What should you do if the remainder is larger than the divisor?

• Multiply the remainder by 10

• Bring down another digit

• Subtract the divisor again

• Add the remainder to the quotient

After subtracting 3,228 from the dividend, what is the next step?

• Multiply the remainder

• Add the divisor

• Bring down the next digit

• Divide the remainder

What happens if the estimated quotient is too high?

• The dividend will increase

• The divisor will be too small

• The division will be incorrect

• The remainder will be negative

What should you do if the estimated quotient is too low?

• Decrease the divisor

• Increase the quotient and recalculate

• Add more to the remainder

• Subtract the quotient from the dividend

What is the next part of the quotient after bringing down the next digit?

• 5

• 7

• 8

• 6

Why is it important to ensure the remainder is smaller than the divisor?

• To confirm the division is complete

• To make the quotient larger

• To avoid errors in subtraction

• To simplify the division process
