In a division problem what is the number into which the diviser goes?
If you have a dividing box thingy, the divisor is on the outside and the dividend is in the inside. Or like in the expression = 7, 2 is the divisor.
What is the difference between a divisor and dividend?
Divisor: the number by which a dividend is divided Dividend: a number to be divided
Which goes first dividend of divisor?
dividend then divisor
How many times 19 can go into 17?
The answer is 0 times with a remainder of 17. When dividing 17 by 19, the divisor is larger than the dividend, so the division cannot be completed evenly. The quotient would be 0, and the remainder would be the original dividend, which is 17 in this case.
What if something goes in more than ten times in the middle of a normal long division problem?
Then the answer for a previous step is not large enough. After inserting the first and each subsequent digit of the answer line, one multiplies, records the product and subtracts from the original ( 1st time) or the resultant (the rest of the steps). If the difference [BEFORE BRINGING DOWN THE NEXT NUMBER] is greater than the dividend then you didn't use a high enough number to multiply by.
