What is long division?
Long division is a written method to divide one number by another digit by digit. You repeat: divide (how many times does the divisor fit?), multiply, subtract, then bring down the next digit until you finish or continue into decimals.
Long division with decimals
If the dividend or divisor has a decimal point, we scale both by the same power of 10 so the problem becomes whole numbers (for example 12.5 ÷ 2.5 → 125 ÷ 25). The answer is the same as the original division.
Real-life idea
Example: 789 chocolates shared among 4 kids — division tells how many each gets and what is left over (remainder).

FAQ
- How do you do long division?
- Write the divisor outside the bracket and the dividend inside. For each step, divide the current working number by the divisor, write that digit of the quotient above, multiply, subtract, then bring down the next digit.
- What is the remainder in division?
- After dividing as far as possible with whole numbers, the remainder is what is left, smaller than the divisor. Dividend = (quotient × divisor) + remainder.
- How do you divide decimals?
- Move the decimal point in both numbers the same number of places so the divisor becomes a whole number, then divide as usual.
- What is the quotient?
- The quotient is the result of division — “how many times” the divisor fits into the dividend (before considering a remainder or decimal part).
