The Column Division iPhone App

This app can be used to teach and study the column division method. The app is easy to use and it has an intuitive interactive interface with customizable colors and other settings. The user can solve random division problems.

The Column Division Method

The column division method is a simple variation of the traditional long division method. Lines are drawn to separate the digits of the divisor. Each place-value column is solved from left to right.

In the Everyday Mathematics curriculum the column division method is one of the algorithms for division.
