Question

How do you divide 33 by 50

Answer 1

Long division works from left to right. Since 50 is a 2-digit number, it will not go into 3, the first digit of 33, and so successive digits are added until a number greater than 50 is found. In this case 2 digits are added to make 33undefined. Note the other digits in the original number have been turned grey to emphasise this and grey zeroes have been placed above to show where division was not possible with fewer digits.
The closest we can get to 33undefined without exceeding it is 0 which is 0 × 50. These values have been added to the division, highlighted in red.
In this case the target of 33 is less than 50 so a division is not possible. Put a 0 in the answer to show this and 0s below the 33.
Leaving out the 0 from the answer line when this occurs is one of the easiest mistakes to make with long division.
