Long Division Techniques and Concepts

In this video, Ben demonstrates how to solve long division using a pictorial method. He begins by setting up the problem and explains the importance of understanding multiples of the divisor. Using counters, he illustrates how to divide 1,495 by 23, moving through each place value column. The process involves calculating groups of 23, subtracting, and verifying the solution. The video emphasizes the use of a place value chart and the inverse operation of multiplication to confirm the answer, which is 65.
