The dividend is the number on the right side of the equation, under the line. It represents the amount being divided.
The divisor is the number on the left -- it’s the one doing the dividing.
The quotient is the number on the top. It represents the answer, or the number of units in each place value once the equation has been completed.
The remainder is the number on the top right. It represents the units left over that can’t be evenly divided into the quotient.
Divide the ones column dividend by the divisor Is the first step.
Use multiplication to figure out how many times the divisor fits into the dividend and write this number on the top is the second step.
Multiply the number on the top and the divisor and subtract it from the dividend Is the third step.
Bring down the next digit from the dividend and attach it to the end of the remainder Is the fourth step.
Repeat with the remaining digits until you can no longer bring down any more digits. This will be your answer (quotient) Is the ffth step.
hope this helps!
