How To Do Basic Long Division


INTRODUCTION FOR HOW TO DO BASIC LONG DIVISION:

Division is the arithmetical operation for finding how many times a number is in another number. This is a one kind of operations in basic arithmetic. Division is nothing but the repeated reduction.

For example: 24 ÷ 12 = 2. Here 24 is the dividend, 12 is the divisor, and 2 is the quotient.  Here we are going to see how we are going to divide a number using long division method.

The two definitions :

the number that is to be divided into is called as the dividend
The number which divides the dividend is called as the divisor


The steps followed to do long division are:

Division , Multiplication, Subtraction, and bring down.

I like to share this Decimals Division with you all through my article.

Example problem to show how to do basic long division:


Ex 1: Solve 3264 ÷ 2.

2)3265(1632
2
12
12
6
6
5
4
1
Steps to show how to do basic long division.

Step – 1: In the given problem the dividend is 3264 and the divisor is 2

Step – 2: Now we are going to divide 2364 by 2, we take the first number of the divisor. Since 3 is less than 2 we can stop with 3

Step – 3: The divisor 2 is multiplied with the quotient 1 and gives the result or 2, so when we subtract 3 with 2 we get the remainder of 1.

Step – 4: The remainder we have is 1; one will not go with 2 so we bring down 2.

Step – 5: Now 2 is multiplied with 6 to get 12. When 12 subtracted with 12 we get 0 so we bring 6 down.

Step – 6: When 2 multiplied with 3 we will get 6 so when 6 subtracted with 6 we will get 0. Now we bring 5 down

Step – 7: When two multiplied with two we will get four. And the remainder is one.

Step – 8: we cannot proceed further. So we stop with this. The remainder is 1 and the quotient is 1632. This is how we do basic long division.

Understanding Log Calculator is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Practice problems for how to do basic long division:


Pro -1: solve 564 by 4

Pro -2: solve 840 by 10.

Ans 1) 141 and 2) 84
