This free long division calculator divides whole numbers the long way, with every step written out, and marks the decimals that repeat.
It shows the quotient, the remainder and the decimal, so it fits whichever form your homework asks for.
I built it because most calculators jump to a decimal, and long division is about the steps in between.
Here's the method, a worked example, and how to spot a repeating decimal.
TL;DRKey takeaways
What is a long division calculator?
A long division calculator divides 1 whole number by another and shows each step of the paper method.
It's for checking homework, teaching the method, or finding a remainder.
How long division works
Each step repeats the same 4 moves.
A worked example
Here's the example the calculator loads: 1,234 ÷ 7.
7 goes into 12 once (7), leaving 5. Bring down 3: 7 goes into 53 seven times (49), leaving 4. Bring down 4: 7 goes into 44 six times (42), leaving 2.
So it's 176 remainder 2. Carry on with zeros and the remainders cycle, so the decimal is 176.285714 repeating.
Mistakes to avoid
These are the slips that cost marks.
- Skipping a 0 in the answer when the divisor doesn't go in
- Bringing down 2 digits at once
- Writing a remainder bigger than the divisor
