Two digit Division

Front

What is the process of division in mathematics?

Back

Division is the process of determining how many times one number (the divisor) is contained within another number (the dividend). It is the inverse operation of multiplication.

What does 'R' stand for in division problems?

Back

'R' stands for 'remainder', which is the amount left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor.

Front

How do you express a division problem with a remainder?

Back

A division problem with a remainder is expressed in the form 'Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient R Remainder', for example, 91 ÷ 4 = 22 R 3.

Front

What is the quotient in a division problem?

Back

The quotient is the result of the division, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend without exceeding it.

How do you perform long division with two-digit numbers?

Back

To perform long division with two-digit numbers, divide the first part of the dividend by the divisor, write the quotient above, multiply the divisor by the quotient, subtract from the dividend, and bring down the next digit, repeating the process.

Front

What is the significance of the divisor in a division problem?

Back

The divisor is the number by which the dividend is divided. It determines how many equal parts the dividend is split into.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations; if a × b = c, then c ÷ b = a and c ÷ a = b.

Front

How can you check your division answer?

Back

You can check your division answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder (if any) to see if it equals the original dividend.

Front

What is a common mistake when performing division?

Back

A common mistake in division is misplacing the decimal point or incorrectly estimating how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

Front

What is the result of dividing a smaller number by a larger number?

Back

Dividing a smaller number by a larger number results in a quotient of 0 and the smaller number as the remainder.
