I'm in Year 11 in the UK, so I assume that's like 4 years above you so I can't remember the difference between long and short division that well but this looks really helpful for Short Division (and I'm pretty sure it's basically the same thing, but if anyone disagrees, feel free to correct me) and this looks helpful for Long Division.
Hopefully someone else can provide a bit more help but that looks quite easy to remember, to be honest.

If you don't have math notes, I don't think you're getting much....
I'll try and explain.
So let's say you wanna do 11/4. I think you know how to create long division, so I'll tell you the steps.
So you can't put 4 into 1, but you can put 4 into 11. How many 4's can go into 11? 2. Because 4 x 3 = 12, and that can't fit into 11. But 4 x 2 = 8, and that's your only number that you can use that's closer to 11. Soo.. now put 2 at the top, and subtract 11 - 8 = 3. Since 4 can't go into 3, the 3 is the remainder. so the answer is 8 r 3.
Or you can ask your parents.
