1. Set up the long division:
   • Divide 616 by 28.
2. Divide the first digits:
   • 28 goes into 61 two times (since \(28 \times 2 = 56\)).
3. Multiply and subtract:
   • \(61 - 56 = 5\)
   • Bring down the next digit (6), making it 56.
4. Divide again:
   • 28 goes into 56 exactly two times (since \(28 \times 2 = 56\)).
5. Multiply and subtract:
   • \(56 - 56 = 0\)

Supplemental Knowledge

Long division is a technique for dividing larger numbers by breaking it down into several simpler steps, using division, multiplication, subtraction and systematic reduction until all dividends have been divided evenly.

Key Concepts:

Dividend and Divisor:

The number being divided is called the dividend.

The number by which the dividend is divided is called the divisor.

Steps in Long Division:

Divide: Determine how many times the divisor fits into the current portion of the dividend.

Multiply: Multiply the divisor by this quotient and write it below the current portion of the dividend.

• Subtract: Subtract this product from the current portion of the dividend to get a remainder.
• Bring Down: Bring down the next digit of the dividend and repeat these steps until all digits have been brought down.

Life in Context

Long division is an invaluable skill that is useful in various situations, from evenly distributing items across a group to calculating portions in cooking or baking. If you want to divide 616 cookies among 28 friends equally using long division, long division will show how many each person will get.
