Long Division Algorithm

Assume we want to divide 127 by 5 using long division. The algorithm for solving this problem can be explained in a step-by-step manner.

Step 1: Identify the divisor and dividend and set up the division problem. In our example, the divisor is 127, and the dividend is number 5. The division problem is:

    ______
    5 | 127
    

Step 2:Divide the first digit in the dividend by the first digit of the divisor. Write zero at the top of the table:

        0
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
    

Step 2:Divide the 12 by the divisor. [ 12 : 5 = 2]. Write 2 at the top of the table:

        0 2
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
    

Step 3:Multiply 2 by 5, then write the result below 12.

        0 2
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
        1 0
    

Step 4:Subtract 10 from 12.

        0 2
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
        1 0
        ---
          2
    

Step 5:Bring down the next digit.

        0 2
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
        1 0
        ---
          2 7
    

Step 6:Divide 27 by 5. Write number 5 at the top row. Then multiply 5 by 5 to get 25.

        0 2 5
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
        1 0
        ---
          2 7
    

Step 7:Multiply 5 by 5 to get 25.

        0 2 5
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
        1 0
        ---
          2 7
          2 5
          ---
    

Step 8:Subtract 25 from 27 to get the reminder of 2. The quotient is 25.

        0 2 5
      ________
    5 | 1 2 7
        1 0
        ---
          2 7
          2 5
          ---
