A Different way to do Long Division

- This is a video explaining a method of Long Division that is different then the traditional method. Some people find this easier because it can be completed by just multiplying by 1,10,100 and 1000's.
Great method and explanation. I have a 5th grade homeschooler struggling with division and this looks much more understandable. I like that you did the last problem two different ways and showed the longer way because I think that would be easier for her as she hasn't memorized the math facts. Thanks for posting.
awesome method...now am not scared of divisions anymore...thanks a lot.
I was working with my son on long division. I was using the standard algorithm (former math teacher), but he’s one of those kids and said “that’s not how I do it in my head.” He couldn’t explain to me how he did it in his head, so we watched your video together.
Your method is very close to how he was doing it in his head, so he was willing to use your method for the purposes of showing his work.
Thank you so much for showing me how to work with him on long division. With my background, I want to tell him that what he’s doing is the same thing as the algorithm, just with a different method, but that won’t be useful 😄
I was also trying to explain “guess and test” to him, but that sounded suspicious and too different from his teacher. What can you do? 🤗
Again, thank you for this method, and for helping people understand long division better.
Hi there! I'm a 4th year undergraduate studying Computer Engineering, and I wanted to tell you that this video has helped me tremendously! I understand that this was probably intended for a much younger audience who is just learning the basic of mathematics, but finding new ways to solve math problems has applications throughout life!
I am writing a C++ library which allows for integer computation using integers of any size (integers are typically limited to -2147483647 to 2147483647). This is because some applications (including data encryption) require extremely large numbers which are much too big for standard integers! I successfully implemented addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but I was running into lots of problems with the regular long division method. Since I have yet to write a division function, I could not use the standard long division method, because the first step of the method is division, which I haven't written yet! So I needed a method of calculating a quotient and remainder WITHOUT using division, and you sir have shown me how to do just that!
Thanks a million!
I'm a middle school math teacher and have been looking for an alternative to long division that will translate to working with decimals easily. The only qualm I have about this method is that I've found it can take a LONG time and a lot of space when your quotient ends up being something like 948...making a group of 100...and another...and another...and another until you have the 9 you need.
An upside to that is that I have also seen some students start doing it in their head (well, I just made four groups and if I can double that and get still have less than what I need and I can just add one more group and it looks like I can make 9 groups).
Thanks for sharing.
I love it. I even love the Dad tells you to Divide, Mom tells you to multiply because after she subtracts, she doesn't know what to do next. Thanks a bunch!!
I really don't get why they didn't teach something like this in school as this would have saved me and probably others *sooo* much time doing division!
I learned this in 1961. It made sense to me, but then in 1963 I was taught this way is wrong. I hated division ever since. Glad I found this video.
This is probably one of the most under-appreciated videos on the whole of UA-cam.
I'm in the six grade and I have found that sometimes I have to use both and it makes the whole process a lot smoother for me. This video is helpful because instead of doing it on scratch paper I can show how and why I did this.
Beautifully simple
I absolutely LOVE this strategy! It makes perfect sense! I'll be using it with my fourth graders Monday. Thanks!
This is called the Forgiving Division, trying to figure it out, when I saw you I refused to watch your video, but when I clicked it you explained it amazingly.
Thank you for sharing this! You changed a life today :)
very effective in the right mind
A student will run out of space on the paper Sir.
Hello - could you do one of these with the result being a decimal remainder? More specifically - using this method to calculate baseball averages? Would love to channel my son's passion for baseball into his math skills.
Insanely helpful
Taking my ASVAB and this helped so much. thank you
Superb !!!, i was so weak in double digit division method, but now i can quickly solve it.. Keep going, thanks a lot.
What program do you use for your lesson visuals?
Really cool
Hi there, I love that you made a youtube video for this. Thanks! Do you know how you would use this method when dividing with decimals?! I need a refresher. Thanks.
I was struglling in long division and this really helped
Are you kidding me??? I just learned a simple way then found this video. This is way better!!!! Thank you.
very useful
this helped a whole lot
thank you I got a A+on my test
Very nice.
THANK YOU!
awesome dude
Thank you! I needed to learn the new way to help me with my daughter's grade 6 math!
You're welcome, glad I could help. Feel free to use any of my videos.
This way is the easiest method for long division!
Thank you. Have you got anymore smart ideas?
seems very easy
Bro..ur great...thanks from bottom of heart.. 😊😊
wow sir great
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
This is excellent, thanks for sharing it. Does this method have a name?
+twistedblktrekie Thank you.
i love it
thank i got it now
Awesome!!! Woooo hooo!! Does this division method have a name? Thank you for sharing!
😎 cool
its Super
cool
Hey, great video. I've already used this to help my students.
Question: what program are you using to make the video, especially the cursor/virtual whiteboard thing?
Jon McMurray

I use Camtasia Studios 8. It's produced by Tech Smith.
its called partial quotient lol but thank you and im in fifth grade and im learning this In school not In sixth grade lol thx
Thank you learned in gr4 but forgot and i was looking everywhere for this video love it☺☻♦♣♠•◘○
