1. Long Division A study guide for beginners

9. 1 st Step- Divide 8 1 9 7 8 can’t go into 1 , so it has to know go into 19. How many times does 8 go in 19? You can figure this out by multiplying. 8x1=8, 8x2=16, 8x3=24. It can go in 1 time because the answer you get afterwards is 8. And 8 can go into 19. But, sense 8x2=16 it can also go in 2 times; and you want it to go in as many times as possible with going over the number (19). So, that’s why it can’t go in 3 times because 8x3=24 and 24 is greater than 19. 24>19. 2

10. 2 nd Step- Multiply 8 197 2 16 Then you multiply the divisor by the quotient And then you get 16

11. 3 rd Step- Subtraction 8 197 2 16 Now you subtract 16 from 19 - ______ And then you get 3 3

12. 4 th Step- Check 8 197 2 16 - ______ 3 3 is smaller than 8. So far we got the equation right.

13. 5 th Step- Bring Down 8 19 7 2 16 ______ 3 7 Now you bring down the 7 in 197 and you get 37.

15. 6 th Step- Repeat 8 197 2 16 - ______ 37 4 - ______ 5 r5 32

16. Final Answer: 24 r5

18. REVIEW!!! Steps to Long Division Divide Divide the divisor into the dividend. How many Times does it go in? Multiply Multiply the divisor by the quotient. Subtract Subtract the number below the dividend from The dividend. Check Check to make sure That the answer you Got is smaller that The divisor. (Sometimes This step won’t be Necessary. Repeat Repeat all the steps If the sum you got Was not zero. Bring Down Bring down the next Number in the dividend And add it to the sum.
