How can I show my answer to 2 divided by 28

14

2⟌28

- 2

08

- 8

0

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 2 on the left side and the dividend 28 on the right side

Step 2:

The divisor (2) goes into the first digit of the dividend (2), 1 time (s). Therefore, put 1 on top

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (2 x 1 = 2) and write that answer below the dividend

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (2 - 2 = 0)

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (8)

Step 6:

The divisor (2) goes into the bottom number (8), 4 time (s). Therefore, put 4 on top

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (2 x 4 = 8) and write that answer at the bottom/Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (8 - 8 = 0) and write the answer at the bottom

You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend.

The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.

Therefore, the answer to 28 divided by 2 calculated using Long Division is:
