Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 86 ÷ 3 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 8 and divide by 3. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 3 = 6 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 8 - 6 = 2. The remainder 2 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 26 and divide by 3. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 3 = 24 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 26 - 24 = 2. The remainder 2 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 2 is smaller than the divisor 3, so the division is complete. The final answer is 28 with remainder 2.

Final remainder: 2

Since 2 is less than 3, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 28 with remainder 2.

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.
