The Long Division Mathematics 2.1 iPhone & iPad Math App

This app can be used to teach and study the long division method. Solving long division problems is also excellent subtraction and times tables practice. The app is easy to use and it has an intuitive interface with customizable colors and other settings. The user can solve random division problems with small and large numbers.

The Long Division Method

In arithmetic, long division is the standard procedure suitable for dividing numbers. The method breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps.

Easy to Use

The Long Division app allows the user to solve a long division problem step by step and animates all the steps. In the steps the user will divide, multiply or subtract. The correct answer will fly to the right place. If the user presses the wrong button the answer will appear above the keyboard but it will not move.

The App has the Following Features:

The dividend can have up to 5 digits
The divisor can have 1 or 2 digits
The user can solve random division problems or input his own numbers
Remainders can be allowed or disallowed
The dividend can have decimals
The current operation for each step can be hidden
The operands for the current operation can be highlighted
There are 3 different themes: black, gray and gold
The speed of the animations can be set
Native interfaces for iPhone & iPad

Custom Problems - a New Feature in Version 1.4

The user can also enter his own numbers in addition to random problems.

Adding Zeros - a New Feature in Version 1.45

When dividing decimal numbers the app will now add zeros to the dividend when needed.

Leading Zeros - a New Feature in Version 1.5

The dividend can now have leading zeroes (i.e. it is now possible to solve problems like 0.005 ÷ 2 = 0.0025). This feature was requested by a teacher who told that "all students are getting long division this year".

The app will now add zeroes to the dividend if decimals are allowed
