The full digit-by-digit long division process, not just the final answer — useful for checking or learning the manual method.
How it works
Each digit of the dividend is brought down in turn, divided into the running remainder, and the process repeats until every digit has been used.
What this does not include
This does not include decimal remainders carried out further — for just the final quotient and remainder without the steps, use this site’s remainder calculator instead.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the dividend and divisor.
Frequently asked questions
Why show the steps instead of just the answer?
Seeing each digit’s working helps confirm understanding of the process, not just the result — useful for students learning or checking their own long division.
What does “bring down” mean in long division?
Bringing the next digit of the dividend down to combine with the current remainder before dividing again, the core repeated step of the algorithm.
Can this handle a divisor larger than the dividend?
Yes — the quotient will simply be zero and the entire dividend becomes the remainder.
