  1. 1.7 ÷ 6 = 1, {q} × {d} = 6, {n} − {p} = 1
  2. 2.14 ÷ 6 = 2, {q} × {d} = 12, {n} − {p} = 2
  3. 3.26 ÷ 6 = 4, {q} × {d} = 24, {n} − {p} = 2
  4. 4.25 ÷ 6 = 4, {q} × {d} = 24, {n} − {p} = 1

Long division, one step at a time

Long division breaks a big division into small ones. Working left to right, you divide the current part of the dividend by the divisor, write the digit, multiply back, subtract and bring down the next digit. The calculator shows each of those steps, the final quotient and remainder, and the exact decimal, putting any repeating block in brackets: 1 ÷ 7 = 0.(142857). Use it to check homework or to follow how the method works.

Frequently asked questions

What do quotient and remainder mean?

The quotient is how many whole times the divisor fits; the remainder is what's left. 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2.

How do I check a division?

Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. You should get the dividend back.

Why do some decimals repeat?

If the divisor has prime factors other than 2 and 5, the decimal never ends and eventually repeats, like 1/3 = 0.333…
