Long Division Calculator

The long division calculator provides detailed step-by-step solutions for any numerical division problems. This mathematical tool will help you understand the long division algorithm and learn to perform division with both whole numbers and decimal fractions.

Benefits of Long Division

Long division is one of the most effective methods for dividing large numbers. This classic algorithm allows you to:

• Break complex problems into simple steps
• Visualize the division process for better understanding
• Get precise results with remainder when needed
• Verify correctness of each intermediate step

How the Division Algorithm Works

The long division process consists of repeating operations:

1. Determine how many times the divisor fits into the current portion of the dividend
2. Write the result in the quotient
3. Multiply the divisor by the found digit
4. Subtract the obtained product
5. Bring down the next digit of the dividend
6. Repeat the process until completion

Division of Decimal Numbers

The calculator supports division of not only whole numbers but also decimal fractions. When working with decimal numbers, it's important to properly position the decimal point in the result:

• When dividing by a whole number, the decimal point moves straight up
• When dividing by a decimal, first "remove" decimal points by multiplying both numbers
• The result can be either a terminating or repeating decimal

Practical Applications

Long division is applied in many areas:

• Mathematics education: learning arithmetic fundamentals
• Financial calculations: distributing amounts, calculating shares
• Engineering tasks: precise calculations without calculator
• Daily life: splitting bills, calculating portions
