How Do You Divide Step By Step?
To divide two numbers step by step, you first need to write the dividend (the number to be divided) and the divisor (the number that is dividing the dividend) in a long division format. Then, you identify how many times the divisor goes into the first digit of the dividend and write that number on top. Multiply the divisor by that number and subtract it from the first digit of the dividend. Then, bring down the next digit of the dividend and repeat the process until you have no more digits to bring down. The final answer is the quotient (the result of the division).
