How to Solve Division

Learn methods for dividing numbers, including division with remainder.

📝 Step by Step

1 Write the dividend (number to be divided) inside the division symbol and the divisor (number dividing by) outside.
2 Start from the left side and find the smallest number of digits of the dividend that is greater than or equal to the divisor.
3 Divide that number by the divisor and write the result above the dividend. Multiply the result by the divisor and subtract from the dividend.
4 Bring down the next digit of the dividend and repeat the process until all digits are processed.

Answer:

1 Write numbers 200 and 4 one below the other, aligning digits.
2 Start from the left side and find the smallest number of digits of the dividend that is greater than or equal to the divisor.
3 Take 20, divide by 4. 20 ÷ 4 = 5. Multiply: 5 × 4 = 20. Subtract: 20 - 20 = 0.
4 Take 0, divide by 4. 0 ÷ 4 = 0. Multiply: 0 × 4 = 0. Subtract: 0 - 0 = 0.
5 Result: 200 ÷ 4 = 50
