Mixed Number
67 6/23
Current number: 154
How many times does 23 go into 154? 6 times
Multiply: 23 × 6 = 138
Subtract: 154 - 138 = 16
Current number: 167
How many times does 23 go into 167? 7 times
Multiply: 23 × 7 = 161
Subtract: 167 - 161 = 6
1547 ÷ 23 = 67 with remainder 6
Check: Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
1547 = (23 × 67) + 6
1547 = 1541 + 6
1547 = 1547 ✓

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
