Long division worksheets with answers

How long division is written

1. 1Write the divisor outside the bracket and the number to divide under it. Take the first digits of the number that make at least the divisor: for 7464 ÷ 24, that is 74.
2. 2Ask how many times the divisor goes into them: 24 goes into 74 three times, as 4 × 24 = 96 is too much. Write 3 above the last of those digits.
3. 3Multiply and subtract: 3 × 24 = 72, written under 74, and 74 − 72 = 2.
4. 4Bring down the next digit beside the remainder and start again: 2 becomes 26, 24 goes into 26 once, leaving 2; bring down the 4: 24 goes into 24 once, leaving 0.
5. 5Read the answer on top, 311, and check it: 311 × 24 = 7464. A last remainder that is not 0 goes after the answer: 7467 ÷ 24 = 311 r 3.
