Long Division – Check with Multiplication

Explanation

\[ \begin{array}{r} 7 \enspace 4 \enspace 2 \\ \hline 4 \big) 2 \enspace 9 \enspace 6 \enspace 8 \\ \underline{-2 \enspace 8} \phantom{\enspace 0 \enspace 0} \\ 1 \enspace 6 \phantom{\enspace 0} \\ \underline{-1 \enspace 6} \phantom{\enspace 0} \\ 0 \enspace 8 \\ \underline{-\enspace 8} \\ 0 \\ \end{array} \]

\(2{,}968 \div 4 = 742\). Check: \(742 \times 4 = 2{,}968\) ✓
