A Better Way to Divide: Short Division

Short division is exactly what the name implies — a shorter way to divide. The mental process is actually no different from long division, but the written steps are. Short division also makes it easier to divide numbers mentally.

what about a decimal that has a remainder

[joyatfivejs]

@cool4ux Nothing changes. You just add the decimal, then put zeros after it in the dividend, and keep dividing.

This video is helpful and I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to put it up, for those of us who cant take classes again. The only thing I would point out is that is could go a little slower. I have epilepsy so it makes me a little slow >.>
