There are five long division steps that can be used to simplify this version of the method:
Divide.
Multiply.
Subtract.
Bring the next number down.
Repeat. Long division is a process to divide large numbers in a convenient way. The number which is divided into smaller groups is known as a dividend, the number by which we divide it is called the divisor, the value received after doing the division is the quotient, and the number left after the division is called the remainder. Write the dividend and the divisor in their respective positions.
Take the first digit of the dividend from the left.
If this digit is greater than or equal to the divisor, then divide it by the divisor and write the answer on top as the quotient.
Write the product below the dividend and subtract the result from the dividend to get the difference. If this difference is less than the divisor, and there are no numbers left in the dividend, then this is considered to be the remainder and the division is done. However, if there are more digits in the dividend to be carried down, we continue with the same process until there are no more digits left in the dividend.
