About Long Division
What this skill is
Long division is a standard algorithm for dividing multi-digit numbers using a four-step repeating cycle: Divide, Multiply, Subtract, and Bring down (DMSB).
When children learn it
Multi-digit division with one-digit divisors is taught in 4th grade (CCSS 4.NBT.B.6). Two-digit divisors and decimal division are mastered in 5th grade (CCSS 5.NBT.B.6).
Teaching Tips
- Use the family mnemonic: Does McDonald's Serve Burgers? (Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring down). Have your child point to each step on a small index card as they work through the algorithm.
Common Mistakes
- Forgetting to bring down the next digit after subtracting.
- Placing quotient digits over the wrong place value inside the division bracket.
- Arithmetic errors during the subtraction step causing erroneous remainders.

- How to Teach Long Division to Your Child
Teach long division as a loop of four small jobs that repeat: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down. Once your child can say the loop out loud and knows the times tables, the rest is practice on printable long division worksheets, starting with one-digit divisors. Most children meet this in 4th grade, and it takes a few weeks of short, steady sessions to feel automatic.
