Long Division (2 digit divisors)

Front

What is long division?

Back

Long division is a method for dividing two numbers, where the divisor is a multi-digit number, and the process involves several steps including dividing, multiplying, subtracting, and bringing down the next digit.

Front

How do you set up a long division problem?

Back

To set up a long division problem, write the dividend (the number being divided) under the long division symbol and the divisor (the number you are dividing by) outside to the left.

Front

What is the first step in long division?

Back

The first step in long division is to determine how many times the divisor can fit into the leading digits of the dividend.

Front

What do you do after finding how many times the divisor fits into the dividend?

Back

After finding how many times the divisor fits, you multiply the divisor by that number and write the result under the dividend, then subtract it from the dividend.

Front

What is a remainder in division?

Back

A remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor.

Front

How do you find the remainder in long division?

Back

To find the remainder, subtract the product of the divisor and the quotient from the dividend.

Front

What is the quotient in division?

Back

The quotient is the result of the division, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

Front

What is the significance of the divisor in long division?

Back

The divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided; it determines how many groups of that size can be formed from the dividend.

Front

How do you handle a situation where the divisor is larger than the dividend?

Back

If the divisor is larger than the dividend, the quotient is 0, and the dividend itself is the remainder.

Front

What is the process of bringing down a digit in long division?

Back

Bringing down a digit involves taking the next digit from the dividend and appending it to the current remainder to form a new number for the next division step.
