 Long Division Procedure: 623  7

7 623 = 7 600 + 720 +7 3

Divide a number from the left (100’s).

Any remainder will be added to the next
right position (10’s). Divide the number.
Any remainder will be added to the
next right position (1’s). Divide the
Number.
Advantage:
• Computation of the answer is quick.
• Grouping a large number, and
adding the remainder to the smaller
number is systematic and easy.
• Making estimate starts with working
with the digit on the left (biggest
place value).
Disadvantage with the alternative
method, such as Everyday Math
• Takes a long time to reach the answer.
• The method will fail in Algebra to
determine series!
• Frustrating to solve complex word
problems in a reasonable amount of
time.
