Long Division Calculator
Perform long division with the full step-by-step working shown.
Division, worked out in full
Long division breaks a division problem into a sequence of simple steps, and seeing every step is how the method is learned and checked. This performs long division and shows the complete working, so you can follow exactly how the answer is reached.

Why the steps matter
Long division is worth understanding, not just getting the answer to, because it reveals how division actually works — handling one digit at a time, carrying remainders forward — in a way that a calculator's instant answer hides. For learners, seeing the full working is what makes the process click and shows exactly where a mistake crept in. It also produces the remainder naturally, which is often what you actually want. And the same logic extends to dividing decimals and to the polynomial long division met later in algebra. A tool that shows the steps is far more useful for learning than one that only gives the result, since the method itself is the point.
Frequently asked questions
Why show the full working?
Because long division is learned by following the steps — seeing each one is how the method clicks and how you spot exactly where a mistake happened.
Does it give the remainder?
Yes — long division produces the remainder naturally, which is often what you actually need rather than a decimal answer.
