Drag the four steps of the long division process into the correct order.
Subtract the product from the current partial dividend.
Estimate how many times the divisor goes into the current partial dividend.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
Multiply the estimate by the divisor.
Correct Answer
(1) Estimate how many times the divisor goes into the current partial dividend.
(2) Multiply the estimate by the divisor.
(3) Subtract the product from the current partial dividend.
(4) Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
Explanation
Long division follows four steps, repeated for each digit: 1) Estimate → 2) Multiply → 3) Subtract → 4) Bring down. The cycle repeats until all digits of the dividend have been used.
