To divide 68 by 2 using long division, follow these steps:

  1. Set Up the Long Division:

    • Write 68 under the long division bar and 2 outside.
      ____
    2 | 68
    
  2. Divide:

    • How many times does 2 go into the first digit of 68 (which is 6)? 2 goes into 6 three times (3 x 2 = 6).
  3. Subtract:

    • Write 3 above the division bar. Multiply 3 by 2 (which equals 6) and write that below the 6. Subtract to find the remainder:
       3
      ____
    2 | 68
       -6
      ____
        0
    
  4. Bring Down the Next Digit:

    • Bring down the next digit, which is 8, making the number now 08.
  5. Repeat the Process:

    • How many times does 2 go into 8? 2 goes into 8 four times (4 x 2 = 8).
    • Write 4 above the division bar. Multiply 4 by 2 (which equals 8) and write that below the 8. Subtract to find the remainder:
       34
      ____
    2 | 68
       -6
      ____
        08
       -8
      ____
        0
    
  6. Conclusion:

    • Since there are no more digits to bring down and the remainder is 0, the final answer to 68 divided by 2 is 34.

Thus, 68 ÷ 2 = 34.
