    Understanding Long Division

    How Long Division Works

    1. Divide: How many times does the divisor fit into the working number?
    2. Multiply: Multiply the quotient digit by the divisor
    3. Subtract: Subtract the product from the working number
    4. Bring Down: Bring down the next digit and repeat
    5. Repeat: Continue until all digits are used

    Division Terms

    • Dividend: The number being divided
    • Divisor: The number you're dividing by
    • Quotient: The answer/result
    • Remainder: The amount left over

    Tips for Long Division

    • Work from left to right through the dividend
    • Make sure each quotient digit is correct before moving on
    • Line up your numbers carefully to avoid mistakes
    • Check your work: quotient × divisor + remainder should equal dividend
    • Practice with smaller numbers first before tackling larger problems
