How to use
Enter a nonnegative whole-number dividend and a positive whole-number divisor. Choose whether to stop at the remainder or continue for a limited number of decimal places. Expand Calculation details to follow each bring-down and subtraction.
For each digit: bring it down, divide by the divisor, multiply the quotient digit by the divisor, and subtract. Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder.
Worked example
Example 1
125 ÷ 4 = 31 remainder 1. Continue decimals: bring down 0 to make 10; 10 ÷ 4 gives 2 remainder 2; 20 ÷ 4 gives 5. Result: 31.25.
Assumptions & practical notes
This step display supports whole-number dividends from 0 to 1 trillion and divisors from 1 to 1 billion.
Decimal continuation is truncated at the selected number of places; an ellipsis indicates a remaining nonzero remainder.
