Understanding Partial Quotients in Long Division

The video tutorial explains how to use the method of partial quotients to perform long division. It begins by setting up a division problem with a four-digit dividend and a two-digit divisor. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find products of the divisor to aid in calculating partial quotients. By iteratively subtracting these products from the dividend, the tutorial shows how to determine the quotient. The method is flexible, allowing for different partial quotients to be used, and concludes with a zero remainder, confirming the division is exact.

What method is being used to find the quotient in this example?

• Partial quotients

• Traditional long division

• Short division

• Synthetic division

What is the purpose of drawing a vertical line to the right of the division problem?

• To make the division look neat

• To record the partial quotients

• To help in subtraction

• To separate the divisor from the dividend

Why is it important to find larger products of the divisor in this method?

• To make the division process faster

• To ensure accuracy in subtraction

• To match the size of the dividend

• To avoid using a calculator
