Drag the four steps of the long division algorithm into the correct order — Step 1 first.
Subtract the product from the partial dividend.
Estimate how many times the divisor goes into the 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 partial dividend.
(2) Multiply the estimate by the divisor.
(3) Subtract the product from the partial dividend.
(4) Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
Explanation
The four-step cycle: 1) Estimate → 2) Multiply → 3) Subtract → 4) Bring down. The cycle repeats for each remaining digit of the dividend. When no digits remain, the last difference is the remainder.
