                  TERMS OF A DIVISION STATEMENT

                  Consider the division statement 14 ÷ 2 = 7.

                  dividend: The number we divide is the dividend. Here, 14 is the dividend.

                  divisor: The number by which we divide is the divisor. Here, 2 is the divisor.

                  Quotient: The number we get as the answer is the quotient. Here, 7 is the quotient.

                  LONG DIVISION METHOD

                  Two sisters share a packet of 12 crayons equally.

                  So, each sister gets 12 ÷ 2 = 6 crayons.                                        Before learning
                                                                                                    long division
                  We can write 12 ÷ 2 = 6 as:                                                     method, I must

                                                                                                  table of 2 to 10.

                  It is known as Long division.

                  example 1: Divide 24 by 6 using the long division method.

                  Solution:       Step 1. Arrange the numbers as shown.

                                  Step 2. Read the 6 times table up to 24. Multiplication table tells that

                                  there are 4 sixes in 24.

                                  That is, 4 × 6 = 24.

                                  Step 3. Write 4 (quotient) just above

                                  the dividend 24, and the product 24
                                  below the dividend.

                                  Step 4. Subtract the product from the

                                  dividend.

                                  Thus, 24 ÷ 6 = 4
