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.

The long division symbol is called the vinculum or division bar. It is used to separate the dividend and divisor in a division problem.
The numerator goes in the division box.
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.
Short division is a method of dividing numbers where the quotient is written above the division line, the divisor is written outside the division box, and the dividend is written inside the box. The division is done digit by digit, from left to right, to find the quotient and remainder.
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".
