Long Division Method                                              Remember

                                                                               Long division method
            Look at the given example.                                         helps to divide bigger

            Divide 21 by 7.                                                    numbers easily.

            Write the numbers as shown. Then use the multiplication table of 7 to find the
            quotient. As 7 × 3 = 21, so 3 is quotient. Write 21 below the dividend and subtract.


                                     3    ←  Quotient                 •  The number to be divided
             Divisor →       7   21 ←  Dividend                         is the DIVIDEND.

                                 –  21                                 •  The number by which we
                                                                          divide is the DIVISOR.

            So, 21 ÷ 7 = 3.                                               QUOTIENT.
