Consider the long division problem below. What error did Sam make when he computed the answer?

0.043 StartLongDivisionSymbol negative 0.2709 EndLongDivisionSymbol minus 258 = 129. 129 minus 129 = a remainder of 0 and quotient of negative 63.

The answer should be Negative 6.3. Sam should have moved the decimal point 3 places to the right in both the divisor and the dividend.

The answer should be Negative 630. Sam should have moved the decimal point 5 places to the right in both the divisor and the dividend.
