Lyrics:

When you do long division heres what to expect

You have to break the problem down into 4 simple steps

You divide, multiply, subtract and bring down

Do it over and over until the quotient is found

Before we break the long division problem down

Heres a couple of terms that youre gonna hear about:

DIVISOR is the number that goes into another

How many times it can is what you will discover

DIVIDEND, its the number being divided

You know that weird-looking bracket? Its the number inside it

The QUOTIENT, now thats another term for the answer

Its a fancy word but its what your teacher will prefer

And you get a REMAINDER sometimes (When?)

When the dividend doesnt equally divide

Divisor, dividend, quotient, remainder

Divisor, dividend, quotient, remainder

When you do long division heres what to expect

You have to break the problem down into 4 simple steps

You divide, multiply, subtract and bring down

Do it over and over until the quotient is found

And now were going to learn how to divide

Its a math problem, but well try our best to make it rhyme!

Now lets divide 75 by 3

You gotta find out how many groups of 3 youll need

Now 3 goes into 7 only two times

So you write the number 2 on the line, (Above the 7!)

Multiply that 2 by the 3

2 times 3 is 6, so write that underneath

Where the 7 is, now its time to subtract

7 minus 6 is one, so be sure to write that

Now its time to bring down the 5

Beside the 1 and now a 15 comes alive!

And heres what the next step should be

15 has how many groups of 3? (Five)

If you know your math facts youll get it

3 times 5 is 15, there we said it!

So now you write that 5 on the line

Right beside the 2 above the 75

Multiply the 5 times the divisor (3!)

That gives you fifteen so you write that at the bottom

Of the problem, subtract it from the first fifteen

That leaves you with ZERO, no remainder to be seen!

Divisor, dividend, quotient, remainder

Divisor, dividend, quotient, remainder

Long division is repeated subtraction

Long division is repeated subtraction

Long division is repeated subtraction

LONG DIVISION IS REPEATED SUBTRACTION!!!!!!!!!!

When you do long division heres what to expect

You have to break the problem down into 4 simple steps

You divide, multiply, subtract and bring down

Do it over and over until the quotient is found

Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down

Divide, multiply, subtract, bring down!!!

Sometimes theres a remainder

That means you had a little something left over

All you gotta do is put an R beside the quotient

With the number after that and then youre good to go, so now you know!

When you do long division heres what to expect

You have to break the problem down into 4 simple steps

You divide, multiply, subtract and bring down

Do it over and over until the quotient is found

When you do long division heres what to expect

You have to break the problem down into 4 simple steps

You divide, multiply, subtract and bring down

Do it over and over until the quotient is found
