What is long division?

Long division is a mathematical method used to divide a dividend by a divisor to obtain a quotient and a remainder. It involves a series of steps where each digit of the dividend is divided by the divisor, and the resulting quotient is multiplied back to the divisor to subtract from the current value, eventually leading to the final answer.

How do you set up a long division problem?

To set up a long division problem, write the dividend inside the division symbol, with the divisor outside on the left. Start dividing the leftmost digit of the dividend by the divisor to get the quotient. Write the quotient above the division symbol on top of the dividend. Multiply the divisor and the quotient, and write the result below the dividend. Subtract this result from the dividend to find the remainder. Bring down the next digit of the dividend next to the remainder and repeat the process until there are no more digits to bring down or until you have reached the desired level of accuracy.

What is the dividend in a long division problem?

The dividend in a long division problem is the number that is being divided. It is the number that is being split into equal parts in order to find out how many times a specific number (the divisor) can be subtracted from it.

What is the divisor in a long division problem?

The divisor in a long division problem is the number by which the dividend is divided to find the quotient.

How do you divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor?

To divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor, you first bring down the next digit of the dividend (if any) to form a new number that is greater than or equal to the divisor. Then you perform the division operation by dividing this new number by the divisor. This will give you the result of dividing the first digit of the dividend by the divisor.

What do you do if the dividend is smaller than the divisor?

If the dividend is smaller than the divisor, the quotient will be 0 with a remainder equal to the dividend. This means that the dividend is already the smallest possible value in that division relationship.

How do you bring down the next digit of the dividend?

To bring down the next digit of the dividend, you simply move to the next digit in the dividend when performing long division. This process involves dividing the next set of digits in the dividend by the divisor to continue the division process until there are no more digits left to bring down.

How do you divide the new dividend by the divisor?

To divide the new dividend by the divisor, you simply need to perform the division operation by dividing the new dividend number with the divisor number. This can be done manually by using long division method or by using a calculator for quicker results.

What do you do if there is a remainder after dividing?

If there is a remainder after dividing two numbers, you can either round the quotient up or down based on the context of the problem or keep the remainder as a fraction or decimal to represent the exact result of the division. The method you choose will depend on the specific calculation you are performing and what is most appropriate for your situation.

How do you know when the long division problem is complete?

You know a long division problem is complete when there is no remainder left and all the numbers have been divided and evaluated. This means that the division has been carried out until there are no more digits left to bring down from the dividend, and the final quotient has been determined.
