How do you divide a number using the long division method?

Example

2 940 ÷ 12 = ?

First, I place the divisor (12) to the left of the division bracket.
Then, I divide the first number of the dividend. I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 2. 12 does not go into 2. So, I look at the first two digits of the dividend. I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 29. 12 goes into 29 twice, since 2 × 12 = 24. Next, I write 2 in the result above the division bracket and 24 under the 29 of the dividend. I perform a subtraction. 29 - 24 = 5
I bring down the next number of the dividend and place it to the right of the subtraction’s answer.
I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 54. 12 goes 4 times into 54, since 12 × 4 = 48. I write 4 above the division bracket and 48 under 54. I perform a subtraction. 54 - 48 = 6
I bring down the next number.
I ask myself how many times 12 goes into 60. 12 goes 5 times into 60, since 5 × 12 = 60. I perform a subtraction. 60 - 60 = 0 The division is complete, since the result of the subtraction is 0 and there is no digit left to bring down.
