To do long division, follow these steps:

1. Write the dividend (the number to be divided) inside the division symbol.
2. Write the divisor (the number you are dividing by) outside the division symbol.
3. Divide the leftmost digit of the dividend by the divisor and write the result above the division symbol.
4. Multiply the divisor by the quotient you just found and write the product below the dividend.
5. Subtract the product from the dividend, and write the result below the line.
6. Bring down the next digit of the dividend beside the remainder you just obtained.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until there are no more digits in the dividend.
8. Once you reach the end, the quotient is your final answer.

To do long division, follow these steps:

Step 1: Set up the division
Write the dividend (the number being divided) inside the long division symbol, and write the divisor (the number you are dividing by) outside the symbol.

Step 2: Divide
Begin with the leftmost digit of the dividend. Try to divide it by the divisor. If it is less than the divisor, bring down the next digit to the right of the dividend. If it is equal to or greater than the divisor, divide the two numbers and write the quotient above the line.

Step 3: Multiply and subtract
Multiply the quotient by the divisor and write the result below the dividend. Subtract this value from the dividend, leaving the remainder below the line.

Step 4: Repeat
Bring down the next digit to the right of the remainder and continue dividing and subtracting until there are no more digits to bring down.

Step 5: Finalize
If there are no more digits to bring down and the remainder is zero, the division is complete. If there is still a remainder, keep bringing down digits until the remainder is zero or until you reach the desired level of accuracy.
