Long Division Calculator

Divide any two numbers to get the quotient, remainder, and decimal answer.

How long division works

Long division breaks a division problem into repeated steps: divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down the next digit. The final whole-number result is the quotient and anything left over is the remainder. Continue past the decimal point to get an exact decimal answer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the quotient and remainder?

The quotient is how many whole times the divisor goes into the dividend, and the remainder is what is left over. For 17 ÷ 5 the quotient is 3 and the remainder is 2, because 3 × 5 = 15 with 2 left over.

How do I get the decimal answer instead of a remainder?

Keep dividing past the decimal point. This calculator shows both forms — the whole-number quotient with a remainder, and the full decimal result.

Can I divide by zero?

No. Division by zero is undefined, so the calculator will ask you for a non-zero divisor.
