Calculate long-division-256-by-8

Perform long division with step-by-step working shown.

Problem

Answer

Both negative → positive result

     32
  ┌────
 8│ 256

8 doesn't go into 2, bring down 5

8 goes into 25 → 3 times

3 × 8 = 24

25 − 24 = 1

Bring down 6 → 16

8 goes into 16 → 2 times

2 × 8 = 16

16 − 16 = 0

No remainder — divides exactly

-256 ÷ -8 = 32
