Long Division Problem: Divide 208 by 4

To solve this problem, we'll perform long division of 208 by 4:

• Step 1: Begin by setting up the division. Write 208 (dividend) under the division bar and 4 (divisor) on the outside.
• Step 2: Determine how many times 4 can fit into the first digit of 208, which is 2. Since 4 does not go into 2, we consider the first two digits, 20.
• Step 3: 4 fits into 20 exactly 5 times (since 4 × 5 = 20). Write 5 above the division bar above the zero in 20.
• Step 4: Multiply 5 by 4 to get 20, and subtract 20 from 20, leaving a remainder of 0. Bring down the next digit, which is 8.
• Step 5: Now, determine how many times 4 goes into 8. It goes exactly 2 times (since 4 × 2 = 8). Write 2 above the division bar, next to 5.
• Step 6: Multiply 2 by 4 to get 8, subtract from 8 to leave a remainder of 0.

The division is complete, and we find that 208 divided by 4 equals $52$.

Therefore, the correct answer is $52$.
