Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 168 ÷ 2 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 16 and divide by 2. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 2 = 16 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 16 - 16 = 0.
Step 2:Take the number 8 and divide by 2. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 2 = 8 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 8 - 8 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 168 divides exactly by 2 to give 84.

About Long Division

Long division is a method for dividing large numbers that breaks down the division process into smaller, manageable steps. It's taught in elementary school as a systematic way to perform division by hand.

The process involves:

  • Dividing the leftmost digits of the dividend by the divisor
  • Writing the quotient digit above the dividend
  • Multiplying the quotient digit by the divisor
  • Subtracting this product from the current dividend portion
  • Bringing down the next digit and repeating the process

This method ensures accuracy and helps students understand the relationship between multiplication and division.
