2-digit by 1-digit long division
The question
60 ÷ 6
10 660 60
- 60 shared into groups of 6. Long division starts at the LEFT — the other way around from adding.
- Start at the left. How many 6s fit into 6? 1 of them — write the 1 on top. 1 × 6 = 6, and 6 − 6 leaves 0. Bring down the 0, which makes 0. 6 does not go into 0, so a 0 goes on top.
- Nothing is left to bring down and nothing is left over. 60 ÷ 6 = 10.
