Long division is a method of dividing two numbers, using repeated multiplications and subtractions in a tableau. Because it is easy to do, it is usually taught in schools. There are other methods which are faster, or easier to program with a computer, but they are more difficult to understand and perform manually. If we have a large or complicated division problem, we can use long division to break it down into a series of easier calculations. Long division can also be done on polynomials as well. Overview. As with most division problems we have three numbers: the dividend, our first number; the divisor, the second number we divide it by; and the quotient, which is the result. Long division is a kind of algorithm, which means it helps us to find the solution to a problem by following a set of clearly-defined steps: Examples. Basic case. Let's assume we want to divide 780 by 4. To do so with long division, we need to split 780 into digits -- 7 and 8 and 0 -- and then divide each one by 4, carrying any remainders to the next step. 7 / 4 = 1 R 3 -- since we have a remainder of 3, we have to carry this down. 38 / 4 = 9 R 2 -- we carry our remainder of 2 down. 20 / 4 = 5 R 0 -- we have reached the end. By using long division, we have found that 780 / 4 = 195. Complex case. Let's perform a similar calculation where our numbers do not divide easily: 468 / 12 4 / 12 = 0 R 0 -- we cannot perform this division as 4&lt;12, so we have to carry our dividend like a remainder. 46 / 12 = 3 R 10 -- we carry our remainder of 10 down. 108 / 12 = 9 R 0 -- we have reached the end. By the same process we have found that 468 / 12 = 39. Decimal Answers. Let's follow the same process for numbers that give an answer with a decimal because they
