name the position of the first digit of the quotient. then find the first
digit.
3 divide by 579

To find the position of the first digit of the quotient, you need to perform long division. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start by writing the dividend (3) inside the long division bracket and the divisor (579) outside the bracket. Then, write a blank line underneath the dividend.
0
__________
579 │ 3
2. Since 579 is greater than 3, we know that the quotient will be less than 1. Therefore, the first digit of the quotient will be 0.
3. Multiply the divisor (579) by the first digit of the quotient (0) and write the result underneath the dividend. Subtract this result from the dividend.
0
__________
579 │ 3
0
3 - 0 = 3
4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (if any). Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we stop here.
5. The final result is 0 with a remainder of 3. Therefore, the first digit of the quotient is 0.
So, the position of the first digit of the quotient is the ones place, and the first digit is 0.
