Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 968 ÷ 4 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 9 and divide by 4. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 4 = 8 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 9 - 8 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 16 and divide by 4. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 4 = 16 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 16 - 16 = 0.
Step 3:Take the number 8 and divide by 4. We get 2 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 2 × 4 = 8 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 8 - 8 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 968 divides exactly by 4 to give 242.

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.
