🛎️ Understanding the Parts of Long Division
- The dividend is the number being divided, and the divisor is the number you divide by.
- The quotient is the answer on top, and the remainder is what is left at the end.
🛎️ Checking a Long Division Answer
- You can check your answer using: Quotient × Divisor + Remainder = Dividend.
- For example, 230 × 7 + 5 = 1615, so 1615 ÷ 7 = 230 r 5 is correct.
