long division
Step-by-step dividing
Long division is the standard method for dividing large numbers by hand, working digit by digit from left to right.
The process involves repeated cycles of dividing, multiplying, subtracting, and bringing down the next digit.
It's typically taught in elementary school and remains useful for understanding how division works, even as calculators handle the arithmetic: She showed her work using long division.
