text: # Divide whole numbers using long division
  
  Lesson
  
  Long division is the name given to a particular written process to work out the division of one number with another.
  
  • The number to be divided into is known as the dividend
  • The number which divides the other number is known as the divisor
  • The answer, is called the quotient.
  
  #### For example
  
  If we have bigger or more complicated division calculations to do, we can use long division to do it on paper.
  
  ## The process
  
  Long division is set up like this,
