The mini-lesson above shows how to do long division with step-by-step illustrated guidance. It takes a fairly simple example and shows the algorithmic steps alongside an illustration of division as sharing into equal groups. Note: You will find here a long division worksheet generator that provides limitless questions for practicing what is shown in this animation.
