Long Division Word Problems

Long division is a method used to divide larger numbers into smaller, more manageable parts, allowing us to find the quotient and remainder.

1. Divide the first number by the divisor. 2. Multiply the divisor by the quotient. 3. Subtract the result from the dividend. 4. Bring down the next digit. 5. Repeat until all digits are used.

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another.

A remainder is the amount left over after division when the numbers do not divide evenly.
