short division
Quick quotient method
Short division is a method for dividing numbers that keeps the working in a single line, with remainders noted mentally or as small figures carried to the next digit.
It contrasts with long division, which shows each step of multiplication and subtraction explicitly.
Short division works best when the divisor is small enough to handle mentally: Use short division for dividing by single digits.
