Frequently asked questions
How does long division work?
Take the first digits of the dividend that make a number at least as large as the divisor, see how many times the divisor fits, subtract, bring down the next digit and repeat until no digits are left.
How do I divide by a decimal?
Move the decimal point of the divisor to the right until it is a whole number, and move the dividend's by the same number of places: 12.5 ÷ 0.25 is the same as 1250 ÷ 25.
What is a repeating decimal?
When a remainder repeats, the digits after it repeat forever: 1 ÷ 7 = 0.(142857). This happens whenever the divisor, in lowest terms, has prime factors other than 2 and 5.
