The long division box is called a "division bracket" or a "division bar." It is used to separate the dividend from the divisor in the long division process. The division bracket helps to organize the numbers and steps involved in dividing one number by another.
Yep, to do long division the box is called a division bracket.
It is the dividend
It is the middle number in the short (5~1=5) division or outside of the box in long division.
It is called long division because you write down all the numbers for each step to solve the problem and for large numbers there is a lot of writing down. There is a technique called short division which is similar but is more mental, not requiring all the long division steps. But it is usually done only when you are dividing by a small number less than 10, so it is not that useful.
The numerator goes in the division box.

The result of Long division is called a quotient.

It is called the "gozinta," since in a problem represented by (a / b) using a diagonal slash for division, we often read this as "b goes into a"

The easiest way, is to divide. There is no easier way from long division. First you have to divide, then you have to multiply, then subtract, then restart all over. Your dividend should be inside the box. Your divider should be outside. The quotient goes above the box as your answer. Your work goes below the box.
The long division symbol has no established name of its own. However, it consists of a closing bracket and a horizontal line on top of the numbers called a "vinculum" - from the Latin meaning "something which is tied up".
Short Division in math is a calculated division in one line. It is different from Long Division which is a method of calculating over a few lines used in calculating big numbers. An example of Short Division would be: 60 / 12 = 5.
