How to Perform Long Division

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

Long division systematically divides multi-digit dividends by single or multi-digit divisors, generating a quotient and remainder. For instance, dividing 728 by 8: 8 goes into 72 nine times (72), leaving 0, then 8 into 8 is once, so the quotient is 91. Remainders can be expressed as fractions or decimals if needed. Long division helps in real-world tasks like splitting bills, distributing resources, or converting fractions to decimals. Even in an era of calculators, proficiency ensures clarity, fosters number sense, and handles situations without digital tools.
