  • Long division is useful when dividing a number by more than one digit
  • Long division is similar to short division, but laid out differently
  • The dividend is the number being divided, the divisor is the number being divided by
  • Step 1: Set up the division with the dividend under the division symbol and the divisor on the outside
  • Step 2: Write how many times the divisor goes into the first two digits of the dividend
  • Step 3: Subtract to get the remainder
  • Step 4: Bring down the next digit to join the remainder
  • Step 5: Write how many times the divisor goes into the new number
  • Step 6: Subtract to get the remainder
  • If there is a non-zero remainder, it is included in the answer as "remainder [number]"
  • The same process applies to long division with larger numbers
