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.
It does not have to be. 864/2 = 432. The first digit of the quotient is not in the tens place.
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!
If you mean 18.88 divided by 4 then the quotient is 4.72 and the first digit of 4 is in the ones or units place
You know that 8 x 50 is 400 and 8 x 60 is 480. The quotient will be between 50 and 60.
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)
You look at the place value.
