Step-by-Step Solution

67
23
1547
Step 1: 23 × 6 = 138
-138
16↓ bring down 7
Step 2: 23 × 7 = 161
-161
6

Step 1

Current number: 154

How many times does 23 go into 154? 6 times

Multiply: 23 × 6 = 138

Subtract: 154 - 138 = 16

Step 2

Current number: 167

How many times does 23 go into 167? 7 times

Multiply: 23 × 7 = 161

Subtract: 167 - 161 = 6

Final Answer

1547 ÷ 23 = 67 with remainder 6

Verification

Check: Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder

1547 = (23 × 67) + 6

1547 = 1541 + 6

1547 = 1547 ✓

Long Division Tips

  • •DMSB: Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring down - repeat this pattern
  • •Estimate first: Know your multiplication tables to quickly find quotient digits
  • •Check subtraction: Remainder must be less than divisor
  • •Verify your answer: (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend

?How Do You Do Long Division?

Long division breaks down division into steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. For 156 / 12: 12 goes into 15 once (15-12=3), bring down 6, 12 goes into 36 three times exactly. Result: 13 with remainder 0. Long division shows the complete process for learning and verification.

What is Long Division?

Long division is a standard procedure for dividing multi-digit numbers that breaks the process into a series of easier steps. It systematically divides, multiplies, subtracts, and brings down digits until the entire dividend is processed, yielding a quotient and possibly a remainder.

Key Facts About Long Division

  • Steps: Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring down (DMSB)
  • Dividend / Divisor = Quotient with Remainder
  • Check: (Quotient x Divisor) + Remainder = Dividend
  • Remainder must be less than divisor
  • Can continue past decimal for exact division
  • Works for integers and decimals
  • Foundation for polynomial division
  • Essential arithmetic skill for understanding division

Quick Answer

Long division breaks down division into steps: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. For 156 / 12: 12 goes into 15 once (15-12=3), bring down 6, 12 goes into 36 three times exactly. Result: 13 with remainder 0. Long division shows the complete process for learning and verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Long division follows DMSB: Divide (how many times divisor fits), Multiply (divisor × quotient digit), Subtract (from current dividend), Bring down (next digit). Repeat until all digits are processed. The final subtraction gives the remainder.

DMSB: Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring down. Repeat for each digit.

The quotient is how many times the divisor fits completely into the dividend. The remainder is what's left over. For 17÷5: quotient is 3 (5×3=15), remainder is 2 (17-15=2). We write: 17÷5 = 3 R 2 or 17 = 5×3 + 2.

Quotient: times divisor fits. Remainder: what's left. 17÷5 = 3 R 2.

Verify using: Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder. For 47÷6 = 7 R 5: Check 6×7+5 = 42+5 = 47 ✓. The remainder must always be less than the divisor.

Check: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder. Remainder < Divisor.

If the divisor is larger than the current digit(s), write 0 in the quotient and bring down the next digit. For 105÷5: 5 doesn't fit in 1, so we use 10. 5 fits in 10 twice (10÷5=2). Continue with remaining digits.

Write 0 in quotient, bring down next digit. Example: 105÷5, start with 10 not 1.

To continue division past the decimal point, add a decimal to the quotient and zeros to the dividend. Continue dividing. For 17÷4: 17÷4=4 R 1, add .0 to get 10÷4=2 R 2, then 20÷4=5. Result: 4.25.

Add decimal and zeros, keep dividing. 17÷4 = 4.25 (continue 1→10→2→20→5).
