$375 \div 2$

Step 1

Set up the division problem in long division format.

$2$

$3$

$7$

$5$

Step 2

Divide

$3$ by

$2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$

Step 3

Multiply the newest quotient digit

$(1)$ by the divisor

$2$ .

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$

Step 4

Subtract

$2$ from

$3$ .

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$

Step 5

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

	$1$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$

Step 6

Divide

$17$ by

$2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$

Step 7

Multiply the newest quotient digit

$(8)$ by the divisor

$2$ .

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$

Step 8

Subtract

$16$ from

$17$ .

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$

Step 9

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

	$1$	$8$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$5$

Step 10

Divide

$15$ by

$2$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

	$1$	$8$	$7$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$5$

Step 11

Multiply the newest quotient digit

$(7)$ by the divisor

$2$ .

	$1$	$8$	$7$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$5$
	$-$	$1$	$4$

Step 12

Subtract

$14$ from

$15$ .

	$1$	$8$	$7$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$5$
	$-$	$1$	$4$
			$1$

Step 13

The result of division of

$375 \div 2$ is

$187$ with a remainder of

$1$ .

$187 \frac{1}{2}$

	$1$	$8$	$7$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$5$
	$-$	$1$	$4$
			$1$

	$1$	$8$	$7$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$5$
	$-$	$1$	$4$
			$1$

	$1$	$8$	$7$
$2$	$3$	$7$	$5$
$-$	$2$
	$1$	$7$
$-$	$1$	$6$
		$1$	$5$
	$-$	$1$	$4$
			$1$
