Set up the division problem in long division form
Divide the leftmost digits that are large enough
Write the quotient digit above the division bar
Multiply the quotient digit by the divisor
Subtract the result from the current portion of the dividend
Bring down the next digit
Repeat the divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down steps
Continue until all digits are used
Place the decimal point in the quotient if needed
Check the answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor
Add a remainder if the division does not come out evenly
