Long Division Example

Long Division is a mathematics method for dividing large numbers, which breaks the division problem into multiple steps following a sequence.

Step 1

place every long division part into each place.

• Divisor number in the left side of pipe bar / vertical bar.
• Dividend number in the right side of pipe bar and under the overbar.
• Quotient number in the above side of vinculum / overbar.

Step 2

• Take the first digit of the dividend from the left. Check if this digit is greater than or equal to the divisor number.
• Then divide it by the divisor number and write the answer on top as the quotient number.
• Then multiply the divisor number with quotient number so you get the result digit.
• Then subtract the result digit from the  dividend number and write the difference number below.
• In this example the difference number is zero so there is no remainder.
