Here we will show you step-by-step with detailed explanation how to calculate 9 divided by 4 using long division.
Before you continue, note that in the problem 9 divided by 4, the numbers are defined as follows:
9 = dividend
4 = divisor
Step 1:
Start by setting it up with the divisor 4 on the left side and the dividend 9 on the right side like this:
| 4 | ⟌ | 9 |
Step 2:
The divisor (4) goes into the first digit of the dividend (9), 2 time(s). Therefore, put 2 on top:
| 2 | ||||||
| 4 | ⟌ | 9 |
Step 3:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (4 x 2 = 8) and write that answer below the dividend.
| 2 | ||||||
| 4 | ⟌ | 9 | ||||
| 8 |
Step 4:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (9 - 8 = 1) and write the answer below.
| 2 | ||||||
| 4 | ⟌ | 9 | ||||
| - | 8 | |||||
| 1 |
You are done.
The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.
