Mastering Long Division with Double Digit Divisors

This video tutorial covers long division with two-digit divisors, emphasizing the need for estimation and trial and error. The instructor provides examples, such as dividing 756 by 18 and 2668 by 46, to demonstrate the process. The tutorial concludes with a preview of the next episode, which will focus on division with decimal divisors.

What is the primary reason for needing more thought when dividing with two-digit divisors?

• To estimate and round numbers effectively

• To simplify the division process

• To handle larger numbers

• To use advanced mathematical formulas

What is the main benefit of using estimation in long division with two-digit divisors?

• It makes the numbers easier to handle

• It reduces the number of steps

• It increases the accuracy of the division

• It eliminates the need for trial and error

When dividing 87 by 29, what initial estimation was made for 29?

• Rounded up to 35

• Rounded down to 25

• No rounding was done

• Rounded up to 30

Why is trial and error a necessary part of dividing with two-digit divisors?
