Frequently Asked Questions
What is long division?
Long division is a step-by-step method of dividing large numbers. You work through the dividend digit by digit: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down the next digit, and repeat.
How do I verify the result?
Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. If it equals the dividend, the result is correct: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder.
What if there is a remainder?
A remainder means the dividend is not evenly divisible. You can express the answer as a mixed number (quotient remainder/divisor) or as a decimal.
