How to do Long Division?

  1. Divide: See how many times the divisor goes into the first digit(s) of the dividend.
  2. Multiply: Multiply that digit by the divisor.
  3. Subtract: Subtract the result from the part of the dividend you used.
  4. Bring down: Bring down the next digit of the dividend and repeat.
