How to Do Long Division With 2 Digits?

Set up the division problem with the 2-digit divisor outside and the dividend inside.

Look at the first part of the dividend that is large enough to divide by the 2-digit number.

Divide that part by the divisor to find the first digit of the quotient.

Write the quotient digit above the dividend.

Multiply the divisor by the quotient digit.

Write the product under the part of the dividend you used.

Subtract to find the remainder.

Bring down the next digit of the dividend.

Repeat the divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down steps.

Continue until all digits have been used.

If a remainder is left, write it after the quotient or convert it to a decimal or fraction if needed.
