Question types: Long division

Rule: Long division

Divide from the left: take enough digits for the divisor to fit. Write the digit of the answer and the remainder.

Bring down the next digit and go on. If the divisor doesn’t fit, write 0 in the answer.

Example: 576 ÷ 6: 57 ÷ 6 = 9 (remainder 3), 36 ÷ 6 = 6 → 96

Watch out: Don’t forget a zero in the middle: 618 ÷ 6 = 103, not 13.
