WHAT DOES SHORT DIVISION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Short division

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.
