The value is less that 400, so dividing by 4 is going to give a value less than 100. It is also more than 40, so the value is going to be greater than 10. Taking those two facts we know the value must start in the tens place.
You can use estimation and place value to help you figure out where to place the first digit.

Because 4 is less than 9. There is no way for it to divide evenly and that's to divide by 9. Think about it. The only way to get a number in the thousands place is to have a 9 as the first number (assuming it's still a three digit number)
425 is less than 100*9 = 900 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the hundreds (or higher) place. 425 is greater than (or equal to) 10*9 = 90 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the units (or lower) place. That only leaves the tens place.
well....I don't know much....so i will think of it later.... SORRY

18.88/4 = 4.72 and the first digit is in the ones place

by rounding 624 down to 600, you know that 600 divided by 6 is 100, so the first digit will probably be a 1

Because the hundreds digit is less than 9, there will be no hundreds digit. There are 42 tens*, which is more than 9, so there will be a 10's digit in the answer. *(40 tens from 400, plus the 2 from the tens digit)
An estimation, like 600 divided by 6, will show you that the answer should be around 100, not 10 or 1000.
Well, honey, when you're dividing 3972 by 41, you know that the first digit of the quotient will be in the tens place because 41 doesn't go into 39. So, you move to the next digit, which is 3. 41 goes into 39 zero times, so you bring down the 7. Then, you see that 41 goes into 72 once, which gives you 9 as the first digit in the quotient. Voila!
