This is a YouTube video titled "Teaching Written Long Division Method (Abstract Stage)" (created 2024-03-28, last edited 2026-01-21). It is an instructional math lesson presented by Zoe (SPEAKER A) demonstrating the abstract written long-division (bus stop) method. The presenter walks through dividing 1792 by 14 step-by-step, showing how to use precomputed multiples, subtract and bring down digits, compute the quotient (128), and explains how to interpret remainders and check work. The content is aimed at pupils learning the written division procedure.

Hi, I'm Zoe and in this video we're going to be looking at the steps involved in using long division alongside division. It's useful to keep using those pictorial and concrete representations. But in this video we're purely going to be looking at the abstract written method. So here's our problem. 1792 divided by 14. As before, we're going to use our bus stop. Our dividend is going to go inside the bus stop and our divisor on the outside. Now, before we actually start doing the division, it's really useful because we've got a two digit number to put down some multiples of that number so that we don't have to keep stop starting the method. So we're going to put our 2 times 14, our 3 times 14, 5 times 14 and 10 times 14. These should help pupils just to get started and if they need any others then they can work them out as we go. Okay, 14 into one. How many 14s can I take out of one? The answer zero. How many 14s can I Take out of 17? The answer here we've got one lot of 14 and in this we write it underneath 14. Our next step, we do a subtraction. 17 take away 14 leaves us with three. We bring our nine down. So we've got how many lots of 14 can we take out of 39. Looking at our multiples here, we can see it's greater than 2, but it's smaller than 3. So we can get 2 lots of 14 out of 39. 2 lots of 14 is 28 that goes underneath and we take it away. 9 take away 8 is 1. 3 take away 2 is 1. And we pull down our ones digit 112. How many 14s can I get out of 112? We haven't got that in our multiples of 14, but hopefully some of the pupils will be able to spot that. 70 42 is 112. So we need five lots of 14 and three lots of 14, which gives us eight lots of 14 altogether. Eight lots of 14, 112. Taking that away, we get zero, what this number at the bottom tells us because it's 0, 14 goes exactly into 1792, the answer being 128. If this number is bigger than 0 but less than 14, that's our remainder. If this number is bigger than 14, then clearly we've got a problem. Something's happened up here, they need to go back and check. We'll be dealing with remainders in some future videos. Do have a look and that is how we use long division for our divisions.
