How to Divide 36 by 2 Using Long Division

To divide 36 by 2 using long division, follow these steps:

1. Set up the problem: Write 36 under the division bar and 2 outside the division bar.
2. Divide: Determine how many times 2 can go into the first digit of 36, which is 3. Since 2 goes into 3 once, write 1 above the 3.
3. Multiply: Multiply 1 by 2, which equals 2. Write this below the 3.
4. Subtract: Subtract 2 from 3, which leaves 1. Write this below the line.
5. Bring down the next digit: Bring down the next digit, which is 6, making the number 16.
6. Divide again: Determine how many times 2 can go into 16. Since 2 goes into 16 eight times, write 8 above the 6.
7. Multiply: Multiply 8 by 2, which equals 16. Write this below the 16.
8. Subtract: Subtract 16 from 16, which leaves 0. Write this below the line.

So, 36 divided by 2 equals 18.
