For instance, 1776 / 28

Round to 1800 / 30

Then you can see that the answer is approximately 60

It is much easier to perform long division on a piece of paper than a computer, but I’ll try my best. [1] Write down the equation in standard long-division form. ___________ 44) 2 2 9 5 7 Make sure the divisor (the number that splits up the other number) is on the left of the curve, and the dividend (the number being split up) is on the right, and under the line. Got it? Okay, let us begin… [2]Start looking at the first digit. ____________ 44) {2} 2 9 5 7 Now ask yourself, “how many 44s go into 2?” The answer, of course, is 0, as 2 is smaller than 44. Let us fill that in. ___{0}______ 44) 2 2 9 5 7 [3]Looking at the second digit. Before, as we used none of the 2, it carries over to the next digit. ___ 0________ 44) {2 2} 9 5 7 Now we look at this as 22. Again, ask yourself, “how many 44s go into 22?” Once again, the answer is 0, because 22 is smaller than 44. ___0 {0}____ 44) 2 2 9 5 7 [4]Now let’s look at the third digit! Remember: as we used none of the 22, it all carries over, and we view it as 229 ___0 0_____ 44){2 2 9} 5 7 Know what we do next? Yes! Question time! “How many 44s are in 229?” As 229 is bigger than 44, we start to do some division. First we make an estimate of the number we need. It’s usually good to see what the number x 10 is, so you can see what number range you are looking into. For example: 44×10=440, which is about double 229. So let us try 5. 44×5=220. We can see this is the closest we can get to 229 without going over it, so we can safely say there are five 44s in 229. ___0 0{5}___ 44) 2 2 9 5 7 But there was 9 left over (229-220=9), so that carries over to the next digit. ___0 0 5______ 44) 2 2 9 {95} 7 On paper you would write the 9 quite small, either top-left or bottom-left of the 5 (whichever suits you better) though I cannot do that on this. [5]Continue! There are two 44s (88) in 95, remainder 7, so: ___0 0 5{2}___ 44) 2 2 9 5{77} There is one 44 in 77, remainder three, and as your number is going over the decimal point, don’t forget to put a few in. (NB: 5.000=5) ___0 0 5 2{1}______ 44) 2 2 9 5 7.{330} 0 Seven 44s in 330, remainder 22. ____0 0 5 2 1.{7}____ 44) 2 2 9 5 7. 0 {220} As we saw before, there are five 44s in 220, exactly. This means we can finish! ___ 0 0 5 2 1. 7 5 44) 2 2 9 5 7. 0 0 So 22957 divided by 44 is 521.75 I hope this helps, and isn’t too long. I hope there are all the steps as well.

you must think of the largest number possible that will go into

the number without going over.

divide mulyiply substract bringdown

then round the number

ps:hope that helps chek oput my page
