Answer:

7

Explanation:

you just divide 8/56= 7

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 56 on the left side and the dividend 8 on the right side like this:

56⟌8

Step 2:

The divisor (56) goes into the first digit of the dividend (8), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

0

56⟌8

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (56 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

0

56⟌8

0

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (8 - 0 = 8) and write the answer below.

0

56⟌8

-0

8

the answer to 8 divided by 56 calculated using Long Division is: 7
