Long
Division is simply Short Division with the subtracting part of the
process written out formally. Here is 245 ÷ 7 using both methods:
7 into 2 doesn't go
7 into 24 goes 3 with 3 left over 7 into 35 goes 5
7 into 24 goes 3 times 3 x 7 is 21 24 - 21 is 3 bring down the 5; now do it again with the new number 7 into 35 goes 5 times 5 x 7 = 35 35 - 35 is 0 finished!
This might look complicated for a simple division but we need to see it used on a harder task.
