The Long Division Calculator divides whole numbers step by step and shows the quotient and remainder.
100 ÷ 7 = 14 R 2
| Quotient | 14 |
| Remainder | 2 |
| Decimal result | 14.2857142857 |
| Check | 7 × 14 + 2 = 100 |
Calculation steps:
| Bring down 1: 1 | 1 ÷ 7 = 0, 0 × 7 = 0, remainder 1 |
| Bring down 0: 10 | 10 ÷ 7 = 1, 1 × 7 = 7, remainder 3 |
| Bring down 0: 30 | 30 ÷ 7 = 4, 4 × 7 = 28, remainder 2 |
Long division breaks a large division into a series of easy steps. Work from the leftmost digit of the dividend: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down the next digit, and repeat.
100 ÷ 7: 1 ÷ 7 = 0; bring down 0 to make 10, 10 ÷ 7 = 1 remainder 3; bring down 0 to make 30, 30 ÷ 7 = 4 remainder 2. The answer is 14 remainder 2, or 14.2857…
Divisor × quotient + remainder = dividend: 7 × 14 + 2 = 100. The remainder must always be smaller than the divisor.
What is the dividend? The number being divided.
How do I get decimals? Add zeros after a decimal point and keep dividing.
What is short division? The same method done mentally for single-digit divisors.
