Answer: The long division method is a way to solve division problems by hand. Here are the steps to do long division:
Write the dividend (the number being divided) inside a long division bracket, and write the divisor (the number doing the dividing) outside of the bracket.
Divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. Write the answer (the quotient) above the dividend, and write any remainder (what’s left over) below the first digit of the dividend.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend next to the remainder.
Repeat step 2 until you’ve brought down all of the digits of the dividend.
The final answer is your quotient with any remainder written as a fraction.
