Q&A

• How can the long division method with two-digit divisors be made easier?

  Using estimation and rounding can make the long division method with two-digit divisors easier. Rounding the numbers being worked with can help make good estimates. Complex division problems can also be solved with a calculator, but understanding the method is important for problem-solving skills.

• How does the value of the divisor affect the division steps?

  The value of the divisor affects the division steps as a larger divisor requires grouping more digits and taking bigger division steps. Estimating and checking remainders are important in the division process.

• What may be required when dividing with 2-digit divisors?

  Dividing with 2-digit divisors may require grouping three digits together, making it difficult and requiring trial and error. Estimating can help make better guesses at the answer.

• Why does taking larger chunks when dividing make each step harder?

  Taking bigger chunks when dividing leads to fewer steps but harder individual steps. Two-digit divisors require grouping the first two digits, making the division step trickier. Estimation is necessary when dealing with two-digit divisors.

• What should be done when the first digit is less than the divisor when dividing numbers?

  When dividing numbers, if the first digit is less than the divisor, you should group the first two digits together. This allows you to break the dividend into bigger chunks of digits and apply the same division procedure.

• How does long division involve breaking up the problem?

  Long division involves breaking up the problem into smaller division steps, making it easier to handle long division problems with larger divisors. The process involves asking how many times the divisor fits into the dividend for each digit.

• What is the key to handling long division problems with bigger divisors?

  The key to handling long division problems with bigger divisors is to break up the problem into a series of smaller and easier division steps, going digit-by-digit and solving each step individually.

• 00:06 In the video, we learn how to handle long division problems with bigger divisors by breaking up the problem into a series of smaller and easier division steps. The key is to go digit-by-digit and solve each step individually.
• 02:08 When dividing numbers, if the first digit is less than the divisor, group the first two digits together. You can break the dividend into bigger chunks of digits and apply the same procedure.
• 04:03 When dividing, taking larger chunks might result in fewer steps but makes each step harder. Two-digit divisors force us to take bigger steps and estimate the answer.
• 06:14 Dividing with 2-digit divisors may require grouping three digits together, making it difficult and requiring trial and error. Estimating can help make better guesses at the answer.
• 08:13 Estimating and dividing numbers using rounding and checking remainders. The value of the divisor affects the division steps.
