It&#8217;s especially useful when mental math is difficult. In this problem, we are dividing 74 by 2. The number 74 is the <strong>dividend<\/strong>, and 2 is the <strong>divisor<\/strong>. The result, or <strong>quotient<\/strong>, will be the answer to the division problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We begin by looking at the leftmost digit of the dividend, which is 7. We ask, \u201cHow many times does 2 go into 7 without going over?\u201d The answer is 3, because 2 \u00d7 3 = 6. We write 3 above the 7. Then we subtract 6 from 7, which leaves a remainder of 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 4, forming the number 14. We then ask, \u201cHow many times does 2 go into 14?\u201d The answer is 7, because 2 \u00d7 7 = 14. We write 7 next to the 3 in the quotient. When we subtract 14 &#8211; 14, we get 0, so there is no remainder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final quotient is 37, meaning 74 divided by 2 equals 37. This is a basic example of division with a two-digit number, and it helps reinforce place value understanding, subtraction skills, and multiplication facts. Long division is a foundational skill that prepares students for more complex math operations, including algebra and fractions. It&#8217;s a method that ensures accuracy, especially when calculators are not allowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>74 divided by 2 but long division The correct answer and explanation is: Let&#8217;s solve 74 \u00f7 2 using long division, then provide an explanation. \u2705 Correct Answer: 37 \ud83d\udcd8 Step-by-Step Long Division: We are dividing 74 by 2.
