How to do division

To do division, follow these steps:
1. Write the dividend (the number being divided) on the inside of the division symbol, and the divisor (the number doing the dividing) on the outside of the division symbol.
2. Divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. Write the quotient (the answer to the division) above the line.
3. Multiply the divisor by the quotient and write the result under the dividend.
4. Subtract this result from the first digit of the dividend, and bring down the next digit of the dividend next to the remainder.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you have worked through all the digits of the dividend.
6. If you have a remainder after dividing all the digits, you can either leave it as a fraction (for example, 5/8) or as a decimal (for example, 0.625).
Remember to double-check your work and make sure that the divisor goes into the dividend evenly.
