Step-by-Step Breakdown

Here is how to read the output.

• Result section: Shows the quotient rounded to five decimal places.
• Whole number summary: Shows the quotient with remainder and a mixed number.
• Long division steps: Show for positive whole numbers.
• The steps show each digit brought down in order.
• They show how many times the divisor fits at each stage.
