Here we will show you step-by-step with detailed explanation how to calculate 5 divided by 4 using long division.

Before you continue, note that in the problem 5 divided by 4, the numbers are defined as follows:

5 = dividend
4 = divisor


Step 1:
Start by setting it up with the divisor 4 on the left side and the dividend 5 on the right side like this:
             
    4 5    

Step 2:

        1    
    4 5    
        4    

Step 4:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (5 - 4 = 1) and write the answer below.
