How To Do Division?

Set up the division problem with the dividend inside the division bracket and the divisor outside

Determine how many times the divisor fits into the first digit or first few digits of the dividend

Write that number above the division bracket

Multiply the divisor by the number written above

Subtract the result from the part of the dividend you used

Bring down the next digit of the dividend

Repeat the process until all digits have been used

Write the final result as the quotient

If there is a remainder, write it after the quotient or as a fraction or decimal

Check your answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder if needed
