Lesson Summary
Use long division to divide large numbers step by step.
Explanation
Long division breaks a big division problem into smaller steps. You divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down the next digit, repeating until there are no more digits to bring down. For example, to divide 845 by 5 you start by seeing how many times 5 goes into 8, then work your way through each digit. Practice the steps in order and you will be able to divide any large number.
