In arithmetic, short division is a division algorithm which breaks down a division problem into a series of easy steps. It is an abbreviated form of long division. Short division relies on mental arithmetic, which necessarily limits the size of the divisor. For most people, small integer divisors up to 12 are handled using memorised multiplication tables, though some people can use the procedure for larger divisors. As in all division problems, a number called the ''dividend'' is divided by another, called the ''divisor''. The answer to the problem is called the ''quotient''. Using short division, one can solve a division problem with a very large dividend by following a series of easy steps. ==Tableau== Short division does not use the ''slash'' (/) or ''obelus'' (÷) symbols. Instead, it displays the dividend, divisor, and quotient (when it is found) in a tableau. An example is shown below, representing the division of 500 by 4. The quotient is 125. : Alternatively the bar may be placed below the number which means the sum proceeds down the page. This is in distinction to long division where the space under the dividend is required for workings: : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Short division」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
