Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 266 ÷ 14 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 26 and divide by 14. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 14 = 14 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 26 - 14 = 12. The remainder 12 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 126 and divide by 14. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 14 = 126 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 126 - 126 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 266 divides exactly by 14 to give 19.

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.
