Hi i'm in 6th grade so i know this is really sad but i do not know how to divide. i am never able to remember all of the steps no matter how many times my teacher tries to help. if you can help at all it is really important to me generally i am smart but division just never stuck. Thank you!

LETS DO AN EXAMPLE :D
Okay, let's say 325/5 (three hundred twenty-five divided by 5)
So what it is REALLY asking you is how many TIMES does 5 go into 325...
So lets begin!
Ask yourself:
1. Does 5 go into 3? ( I am saying 3 because its the first #!)
NO!
2. Does 5 go into 32?
YES!
how many times?
the closest you can get is 6, because 6 times 5= 30
3. So keep 6 in mind!
4. Now subtract 30 from 32!
5. you are left with 2!
6. bring down the 5!
7. How many times does 5 go into 25?
5 TIMES!!
8. So your answer is = 65!
because 65 x 5 = 325
GET IT? ;D

the smaller number and divide it by the larger number. An exception is trying to turn a fraction into a decimal. But anyways, for example, let's say the problem is 5 divided by 25. this is how it should go:
1)5 can go into 25 5 times.
2) mark out the 2 of the 25 since five can't go into two.
3)put a 5 in over 25
4)subtract 25 by the total

Youtube is great for this stuff, youtube it!
I mean I'm in year9 and I'm crap at multiplication!
Youtubes great!
Long D-
Do it slowly, and remember remember remainders, and O.
Hope that helps abit, youtube it seriously it helped me!

I will do some examples to show the pattern. 4 divided by 2 = 2. 2 goes into 4 two times, so answer is 2. 6 divided by 3 = 2: 3 goes into 6 two times so the answer is 2. 24 divided by 8 = 3: 8 goes into 24 three times, so answer is 3. Hopefully you see the pattern.

The way I learned long division was the bigger number is alway under the house and the smaller one is outside.you can email me km a junior in high schoo fairly good at math. Made B or mA in every class
