7 Divided by 21 using Long Division
Long division is a way of dividing one number by another and finding the quotient and remainder. In this article, we will perform the division of 7 by 21 using the long division method.
Step 1: Write the dividend and divisor
The dividend is the number being divided, which is 7 in this case. The divisor is the number by which we are dividing, which is 21. We write the dividend and divisor as follows:
____________________
21 | 7
Step 2: Divide the first digit
We start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (7) by the divisor (21). Since 7 is less than 21, we cannot divide it. So, we write a 0 in the quotient and multiply the divisor by 0, subtract the product from the dividend, and bring down the next digit.
____________________
21 | 7
- 0
7
Step 3: Write the final result
Since we have brought down all the digits of the dividend, we can write the final result. The quotient is 0 and the remainder is 7.
____________________
21 | 7
- 0
7
Quotient: 0
Remainder: 7
Therefore, 7 divided by 21 using long division is 0 with a remainder of 7.
