Lesson Summary
Learn the four steps of long division: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. These steps repeat until there are no more digits to bring down.
Explanation
Long division is a method for dividing large numbers one digit at a time. The four steps are: divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down. You start with the leftmost digit of the number you are dividing. Ask how many times the divisor fits in, write that number on top, multiply, subtract, and bring down the next digit. Then you repeat the steps. For example, 84 ÷ 4: 4 goes into 8 two times, 2 × 4 = 8, subtract to get 0, bring down 4, 4 goes into 4 one time. The answer is 21.
