To set up long division for \( 14 \div 7 \), follow these steps:
1. **Write the division in long division format**:
- Draw a long division symbol (a horizontal bracket).
- Write the dividend (14) inside the bracket.
- Write the divisor (7) outside the bracket.
```
__________
7 | 14
```
2. **Determine how many times 7 fits into 14**:
- 7 goes into 14 exactly 2 times.
3. **Multiply and subtract**:
- Multiply \( 2 \) (the quotient) by \( 7 \) (the divisor): \( 2 \times 7 = 14 \).
- Subtract \( 14 \) from the dividend \( 14 \).
- You will get \( 0 \) as the remainder.
4. **Final result**:
- Write the quotient above the division bar:
```
2
__________
7 | 14
- 14
_______
0
```
So, the complete long division shows that \( 14 \div 7 = 2 \). The result is 2 with a remainder of 0.
If you meant to use \( 3 \) as a quotient, that would not be correct for \( 14 \div 7 \) since \( 7 \times 3 = 21 \) which is more than \( 14 \). Thus, \( 14 \div 7 = 2 \) is the correct calculation.
