Frequently asked questions
How do I check a long division answer?
Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder — you should get the dividend back.
How do I get a decimal answer?
Keep going past the last digit by adding zeros after a decimal point; the decimal answer is shown too.
What's a remainder?
What's left over when the divisor doesn't go in exactly: 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2.
