You can't tell anything about the quotient until you know whatthe divisor is going to be.-- If I divide your 4,796 by 4, the quotient is 1,199 . . . 4 digits.-- And if I divide it by 2,398, the quotient is 2 . . . . only 1 digit.
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!
No, because a quotient requires two numbers. Given the two numbers it is quite easy to work out the number of digits in the quotient.

To find the first digit of the quotient of 18.88 divided by 4, we perform the division: 18.88 ÷ 4 = 4.72. The first digit of the quotient is 4, which is in the units place. We know this because when dividing, the first digit of the result corresponds to how many times the divisor can fit into the leading part of the dividend, which in this case is 18.88.

first you look at the first number tell what that number is then you just find the first digit.

No remainder because the digits of 45549 finally add up to 9

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.
You know that 8 x 50 is 400 and 8 x 60 is 480. The quotient will be between 50 and 60.
