Instructions
Long division helps you solve division problems with big numbers. It looks tricky, but it's just a few simple steps that you repeat. A great way to remember the steps is with this silly sentence:
Does McDonald's Sell Burgers?
- D = Divide
- M = Multiply
- S = Subtract
- B = Bring down
You just follow these steps from top to bottom, and then repeat them until you have no more numbers to bring down. Let's get started!
