How do you divide 8 by 7 using long division?

Answer 1

8 / 7 in long division is however many 7s go into 8.

so there's 1x 7 in 8 with 1 remainder.

For this example, assume every number beyond is a 10, multiplied by the remainder.

so, it'd be 7s into 10, which is 1 again.

Then 7s into 30, which is 4.

Then 7s into 20, which is 2.

Then 7s into 60, which 8.

Then 7s into 40, which is 5.

Then 7s into 50, which is 7.

And this is a reoccuring number, making it 1.142857142857 and so on.
