how to divide
Long Division
4÷25 = 0 remainder 4The first digit of thedividend(4)is divided by thedivisor.
The whole number result is placed at the top. Any remainders are ignored at this point.
25×0 = 0The answer from the first operation ismultipliedby thedivisor. The result is placed under the number divided into.
40 = 4Now wesubtractthe bottom number from the top number.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
42÷25 = 1 remainder 17Dividethis number by the divisor.
The whole number result is placed at the top. Any remainders are ignored at this point.
25×1 = 25The answer from the above operation ismultipliedby the divisor. The result is placed under the last number divided into.
4225 = 17Now wesubtractthe bottom number from the top number.
Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
175÷25 = 7 remainder 0Dividethis number by the divisor.
The whole number result is placed at the top. Any remainders are ignored at this point.
25×7 = 175The answer from the above operation ismultipliedby the divisor. The result is placed under the number divided into.
175175 = 0Now wesubtractthe bottom number from the top number.There are no more digits to bring down. The answer must be 17
Let's see how it is done with:
- the number to be divided into is known as thedividend
- The number which divides the other number is known as thedivisor
And here we go:
