short division
Short division is a simplified form of long division where the division is performed in one line. It is generally used when dividing by a single digit number. It allows the calculation to be performed swiftly and mentally, omitting some steps of the long division. However, this method requires a solid understanding of multiplication and subtraction, as it relies upon estimation rather than the precise steps of the long division method.

Short division
In arithmetic, short division is a division algorithm which breaks down a division problem into a series of easy steps. As in all division problems, one number, called the dividend, is divided by another, called the divisor, producing a result called the quotient. Short division is an abbreviated form of long division. Because it relies on mental arithmetic, it is suitable for use only if the divisor is a small number – typically less than 10. Short division enables computations involving arbitrarily large dividends to be performed by following a series of simple steps.
