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 three-digit dividend and a two-digit divisor. The instructor demonstrates how to organize work by writing known products of the divisor and using them to calculate partial quotients. The process involves subtracting these products from the dividend until the remainder is zero, then summing the partial quotients to find the final quotient. An alternative method using different partial quotients is also shown to verify the result. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the flexibility of the partial quotients method.
