Hi Bloggers!
So recently I've been having to do long division
so now I know how to do long divison with 1 digit divisor and 4 digit dividends
So here i wanted to share what I've learned from that.
so here I will show a long division problem and then I will show you how to do one.
6 ⟌4065
So say we saw that that basicly is just 6 divided by 406
So to start it we look at the 6 and the 4 and we ask how many times does 6 go into 4 and the answer is 0 because 6 cant go into 4 so we bring in the next number and make 4 into 40 so now we ask how many times does 6 go into 40 and the answer is 6 times since it is the closest we can get so now we put 6 ontop of the 0 like this x 0 6
6 ⟌4 0 6 5
Now we go 6 from the top x 6 (the divisor) and that is 36 and now we do this
x 0 6
6 ⟌4 0 6 5
-
3 6
----------
4
and since thats 4 its right because it's smaller than the divisor
Now we can move to the next step which is where we duplicate the 6 (from the divendend) and bring it down to the 4 then we ask how many times does 6 go into 46 like this
x 0 6
6 ⟌4 0 6 5
-
3 6
----------
4 6
And the answer is 7 times and we put the seven above the six then go 6 x 7 which equals to 42 and minus that from 46 like this
x 0 6 7
6 ⟌4 0 6 5
-
3 6
----------
4 6
-
4 2
----------
4
Now we bring down the last number which is 5 and make the 4 into 45 and ask How many times does 6 go into 45? Which is 7 times so now we put the 7 above the 5 and then we go 6x7 which equals to 42 then we go 45 - 42 which equals to 3 so now our answer is 677 with a remainder of 3
and our completed problem looks like this
x 0 6 7 7 r 3
6 ⟌4 0 6 5

3 6

4 6
