How do I close apps on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014?

Close apps on galaxy note 10.1 2014

I am new to Galaxy tablets and still trying to find my way around. I am not able to find a way to close
most apps on the note 10. What I do to get out of the app is hit the home button. Is there a way close
the apps before selecting the home button. After going to home there is eventually an Active app
icon that shows how many apps are running and I can go there and end the applications. I think there
must be a more direct way to close the apps.
Does anyone out there have a better solution?
Thanks.

Welcome to Android Central! Don't worry about "closing" apps on Android devices. These aren't Windows devices--Android works differently, and prefers to keep RAM relatively occupied with open apps. See these articles for more info:

Using the home button and then flicking the unwanted apps off is the easiest. Or shut all down by selecting "close all"
