3-Step+Long+Division

Here is a 3-step method for teaching long division.

Each step is a different math operation as long division requires division, multiplication, and subtraction.

//Inside// – inside the dividing line __Dividend__ – inside number //Outside// – to the left of the dividing line __Divisor__ – outside number //Topside// – above the dividing line __Quotient__ – topside number
 * Terms: **

How many times does the divisor go into the first dividend number? Write this quotient topside, above the same dividend number.
 * Step 1: **

Multiply this new quotient number by the divisor. Write the product below the same dividend number.
 * Step 2:**

Subtract the product from the same dividend number. Bring the next dividend number below. This is the new dividend number.
 * Step 3: **


 * Repeat **. When there are no more numbers to bring down, the //remainder// is left.

Fraction: remainder [fraction bar] divisor. Decimal: add .00 to the dividend and quotient and repeat Steps 1-3; ignore final remainder.
 * The Remainder ** – The remainder can be shown as __fractions__, __decimals__, or simply “R [//remainder//]”.
