How do you do long division for starters?

Answer 1

Long division is easy once you get the hang of it.

I had trouble with it in the beginning, but then quickly got the hang of it. Just remember these steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down.

I will solve this equation: 504 divided by 9. (I tried to make the little upside down L thing as best as I could)

3|504.

DIVIDE...MULTIPLY... How many times does 3 go into 5 evenly? 3x1=3, +2=5. Once. 1__ 3|504 3(<--- 3x1=3, the three in the solution is put there.) SUBTRACT... 1__ 3|504 -3 =2 BRING DOWN... 1__ 3|504 3 20 (<---bring the zero down next to the two) Start over with DIVIDE... (how many times does 3 go into twenty?) until you have nothing else to bring down. There is your answer!! 168 3|504 3 20 18 24 24 0 I really hope this helps!! If not, there are plenty of math help websites. :)
