In this part, I have chosen to add some extra examples on the long division method. It might be useful to observe what happens when things don’t add up or when the residual value is too small. Enjoy these calculations.
Example 1
Calculate
In the example to the right, you can see that I suddenly stop the calculation, although the residual value is
Think About This
Can this division method be used when you have been given a fraction?
The answer is yes! Since the long division method and fractions are two different ways to write a division problem, you can use them interchangeably. If you’re struggling with a fraction, try the long division method, it always works.
Example 2
Calculate
In the example to the left above, I have completed the calculation, even though there is a residual value of
Example 3
