LONG DIVISION (2 DIGITS)

What is 18 ÷ 3 = ? T O

Recall the table of 3 till we get 18.

6 × 3 = 18 6
So, 18 ÷ 3 = 6 3 1 8

This division can also be done as shown alongside. – 1 8

This is called long division. 0

4
Divide 8 by 3.
4
Here, the tens digit of the dividend ( 8) is greater than the divisor (3). So, we
first divide this digit as shown below.

T O

1 6
4

3 8
– 3 (Recall the table of 3; 1 × 3 = 3)
4
1 8 (Subtract 3 from ; bring down 8)
– 1 8 (Recall the table of 3; 6 × 3 = 18)

0

4
So, 8 ÷ 3 = 16

Division with Remainder
4
Divide 53 by .

T O
1 3

4 5 3
4
4
4
– 4 (Recall the table of ; 1 × = )
4
1 3 (Subtract from 5; bring down 3)
4
4
– 1 2 (Recall the table of ; 3 × = 12)
1 (Stop the division when the
remainder is less than the divisor.)

4
So, if we divide 53 by we get 13 as the quotient and 1 as the remainder.
